Sodium chloride is used in many applications. It is used to make buffer solutions for pH controlled experiments. For some reactions, it is used to make a high ionic strength solution, which affects the kinetics of certain polymerizations. It is also used to reduce the melting point of water for subzero solutions. In the same sense, it is used in ice baths to reduce the stable temperature of melting ice from 0 degrees to as far below to -10 degrees, commonly.
It is not necessary to store sodium chloride in an incubator. For laboratory use dried NaCl must be stored in an exsiccator.
Sodium chloride can be prepared in laboratory but this process is not economically important. Sodium chloride is a natural mineral (halite).
When NaCl is made in laboratory from HCl and NaOH the products are sodium chloride and water.
Sodium chloride can be obtained also in laboratory: 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
Sodium chloride is a natural product extracted from salt mines or sea waters. Sodium chloride preparations in laboratory: 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
Sodium chloride function as electolytes.
Salt, or sodium chloride, is formed by neutralization of sodium hydroxide, a base, with hydrogen chloride, an acid.
Sodium chloride is not used in laboratory as a drying agent.
Sodium chloride is separated from the solution after the evaporation of water.
Two reactions in laboratory are: 2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl NaOH + HCl = NaCl = H2O Industrially sodium chloride is extracted from salt mines or sea waters.
In laboratory sodium chloride can be obtained by the reaction: NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O In the nature sodium chloride (halite as mineral) was the product of water evaporation from seas.
Use of sodium chloride solutions or aerosols for nasal irrigation.
