Question

Show the dissociation of the following compound on dissolving in water, with the help of chemical equation and write whether the proportion of dissociation is small or large. 

Sodium chloride

Answer 1

Reaction:
NaCl(s) + H₂O(aq) -> Na⁺(aqueous) + Cl^-(aqueous) + H₂O(l)

Explanation:
When sodium chloride reacts with water the Na⁺ part of NaCl is attracted to the oxygen side of the water molecules, while the Cl^- side is attracted toward the hydrogen's side of the water molecule.
