Chlorine is an atom. Sodium is a metal, a solid. When Na (sodium) and Cl (Chlorine) react, electrons are exchanged, and the properties of the compound NaCl are different from both sodium and Chlorine. And Chlorine gas is just a state of matter, if in a low enough temperature, it will freeze, becoming a solid. Like

Why is NaCl solution a good conductor but NaCl solid not?

for the conductance of electricity freely moving ions and electrons are necessary. But in NaCl (in solid form) Na positive ion and Cl negative ion are held together by strong electrostatic force and there is no freely moving ion in NaCl (in solid state) therefore NaCl does not conduct electricity in solid form.


What is the balanced equation for Na Cl gives Na cl?

The balanced equation would beNa + Cl -> NaCl Basically this reaction can be done by plunging a piece of sodium into a glass gas filled with chlorine gas. A lot of heat is produced in this reaction.


When HCl gas is added to saturated solution of NaCl then what is the effect in the solubility of NaCl?

The common ion is chloride (Cl-).


What are the charges in the ion NaCl?

The water solution of sodium chloride is neutral; the solid NaCl is neutral. After dissociation are formed the cation Na+ and the anion Cl-.


What is the dissocociation of NaCl to Na Cl?

NaCl---------------→Na+ + Cl-


What happens with dissociation in NaCl?

The equation is: NaCl----------Na++ Cl-


How many grams of chlorine gas Cl2 are given off if 7.5 grams of sodium chloride NaCl are decomposed?

To determine how many grams of chlorine gas (Cl₂) are produced from the decomposition of sodium chloride (NaCl), we start with the balanced chemical equation for the reaction: 2 NaCl → 2 Na + Cl₂. From the molar mass of NaCl (approximately 58.44 g/mol), 7.5 grams of NaCl corresponds to about 0.128 moles. According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, 2 moles of NaCl produce 1 mole of Cl₂, so 0.128 moles of NaCl would yield 0.064 moles of Cl₂. The molar mass of Cl₂ is approximately 70.90 g/mol, resulting in about 4.54 grams of Cl₂ being produced.


Na+ and Cl- are ions formed from?

Na+ + Cl- --> NaCl NaCl = salt.


What is the chemical equation of this reaction Solid sodium chloride dissolves in water.?

Sodium chloride is dissociated in water: NaCl---------------------Na+ + Cl-


Is salt a liquid or solid or gas?

Throw some on the kitchen bench. If it stays there, it's not a gas. If it doesn't spread out into a thin film, it's not a liquid. So.... Actually, standard table salt, or NaCl(Sodium Chloride), at room temperature is a solid. It can be melted which means it can become a liquid and release vapors which are gas. When NaCl melts the Na ions and Cl ions can separate.


What is the dissociation equation for NaCl?

NaCl --> Na+ + Cl- You could write water on either side I suppose, but it is negligible. I've also seen H2O written over the arrow.


If a table salt Na Cl is formed when elements sodium Na and chlorine is Cl join list some properties of the compound Na Cl and the elements Na and Cl?

Salt (NaCl) is white, solid, salty, soluble in water, usually found in small granules, etc. Sodium (Na) is a silver/white, highly reactive alkali metal. Chlorine (Cl) is a greenish gas, and a halogen.
