Question

Name the properties of salt.​

Answer 1

Crystals or white crystalline powder.

Transparent and colourless in crystalline form – rather like ice.

Crystallises in the isometric system, usually in the form of cubes.

Soluble in water (35.6g/100g at 0°C and 39.2g/100g at 100°).

Slightly soluble in alcohol, but insoluble in concentrated hydrochloric acid.
