When nacl is added to a definite volume of water and stirred well a solution is formed but there is no increase in the level of water .why?
Answers
Explanation:
Sodium chloride, that is, NaCl is ionic in nature as it forms bond by the transfer of electron. It is known that water is a polar solvent and it readily dissolves ionic compounds because like dissolves like.
Therefore, when we add sodium chloride to water then it will readily dissolve in water. As there is complete dissolution of the salt NaCl, so there will be no increase in volume.
Nacl is added to a definite volume of water and stirred well a solution is formed but there is no increase in the level of water because it is dissolved in water.
NaCl is ionic compound and it is a soluble salt.
NaCl is present in crystalline forms.
These sodium chloride crystals are dissolved in water to form positively charged sodium ions and negatively charged chloride ions.
Therefore, when NaCl is added to a definite volume of water and stirred well a solution is formed but there is no increase in the level of water due it's solubility nature and form aqueous form of sodium chloride.
