Why Is Nacl Aqueous?

In a NaCl solution (salt-water), the solvent is water. ... An aqueous solution is a solution in which water is the solvent. A NaCl solution is an aqueous solution. A non-aqueous solution is a solution in which water is not the solvent.

Why is NaCl soluble in 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.

Why is NaCl neutral in aqueous solution?

NaCl is salt of strong acid HCl and strong base NaOH. It does not undergo hydrolysis as there is no reaction between ions of salt NaCl with water. Aqueous solution of NaCl contains equal number of H+ and OH- ions,hence it is neutral in nature.
