Question

What are the chemical and physical properties of common salt?

Answer 1

Of common salt, the stuff you put on your fish and chips?

Explanation:

`"Sodium chloride"` is a non-molecular, ionic solid composed of an infinite array of `Na^+` and `Cl^-` ions. As an ionic solid it has a high melting point of `801` `""^@C`, and a boiling point so high as to be almost unmeasurable. It has some solubility in strongly polar solvents such as `OH_2` that are capable of solvating the component `Na^+`, and `Cl^-` ions, and next to no solubility in less polar solvents.

Answer 2

See below :

Explanation:

• Some salts are salty whereas others are bitter and tasteless
• Most of the salts are neutral to indicators.
• Some salts like salts of potassium, sodium, calcium etc. are colorless whereas the salts of copper, nickel, cobalt etc. possess color.
• Most of the salts are soluble in water. Some salts of lead and barium are insoluble in water.
• The solution of salt can conduct electricity.
