NaCl is ionic, and polar/non-polar usually refers to covalent bonds.

So, while it is polar in a sense (there are + and - parts) it is really ionic. It is, however, soluble in polar liquids, such a water.

No, NaCL is polar, benzen is non-polar.


Which of the following liquids is hexane most likely to dissolve?

NaCl will not dissolve in Hexane because NaCl is a polar molecule and Hexane is a non-polar molecule. NaCl is insoluble in Hexane. On the other hand, NaCl will dissolve in water because both are polar molecules. "Like dissolves like".


NaCl polar or non polar?

NaCl is an ionic compound, certainly not nonpolar.


Is sodium chloride is soluble in ether?

Sodium chloride is highly polar (ionic in fact) where hexane is very not. The two don't attract at all, so each is insoluble in the other.


Is table salt polar non polar or ionic?

Salt is polar. It dissolves in water (also polar). Like dissolves like.


Is NaCl polar or non-polar?

NaCl is an ionic compound, and these terms are generally reserved for covalent compounds. But by definition, all ionic compounds are polar.


What substances contains a nonpolar covalent bond mgf2 nacl nh3 h2o n2?

Will sodium chloride dissolves in carbon tetrachloride?

NaCl will not dissolve in CCl4 is a polar molecule and polar molecule will only dissolve other polar molecules. As the same goes for non polar molecules.


How do you account for the observed solubility of naphthalene and sodium chloride in water and ether based on the nature of the bonds that exist in them?

The reason why naphthalene can be dissolve in ether and not in water is because of their polarity. Naphthalene is a non-polar molecule. so it can only dissolve with a non-polar molecule.


What is the general rule regarding solubility of polar and non-polar substances?

"Like dissolves like" This is simply stating that a solute will dissolve best in a solvent that has a similar polarity to itself. For example, a very polar (hydrophilic) solute such as NaCl is very soluble in highly polar water and and practically insoluble in non-polar solvents such as benzene. However, a non-polar (lipophilic) solute such as carbon dioxide is insoluble in water and highly soluble in non-polar benzene. For a non-polar solute such as carbon dioxide to become more soluble in water, the pressure of the system would have to be increased. This is why most sodas are under 5 atmospheres of pressure.
