Why is sodium chloride not a mixture? Why is sodium chloride a compound?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:Sodium chloride solid is not a mixture. ... It cannot be physically separated into its components, Na+ and Cl−

Explanation:Sodium chloride is formed when sodium atoms interact with chlorine atoms. When this occurs, sodium will donate an electron (which is a negatively-charged particle) to chlorine. This makes sodium slightly positive and chlorine slightly negative.

Opposite charges attract, right? So then, sodium ions will attract chloride ions and form an ionic bond. By the way, chloride is the term used to designate the anion form of chlorine. The result is a crystallized salt that has properties that are different from the two parent elements (sodium and chlorine). The chemical formula for sodium chloride is NaCl, which means that for every sodium atom present, there is exactly one chloride atom.

Why does increasing the temperature make a solid dissolve faster?
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The chemical bonds of the solid are broken faster.

Explanation:

As the temperature of a solution is increased, the average kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the solution also increases. The increased vibration (kinetic energy) of the solute molecules causes them to be less able to hold together, and thus they dissolve more readily.
