conculsion of chloride and sodium in water with a known concentration of 10gm/litter of mass
Answers
★ Answer ★
➝Chloride increases the electrical conductivity of water and thus increases its corrosivity. In metal pipes, chloride reacts with metal ions to form soluble salts (8), thus increasing levels of metals in drinking-water.
➝When salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves because the covalent bonds of water are stronger than the ionic bonds in the salt molecules. ... Water molecules pull the sodium and chloride ions apart, breaking the ionic bond that held them together.
➝Chloride concentrations in excess of about 250 milligrams per liter usually produce a noticeable taste in drinking water.
An increase in chloride content in well water may indicate possible pollution from sewage sources, particularly if the normal chloride content in surrounding wells is known to be low.
