Physical properties About Sodium chloride

Sodium chloride. With the CAS register number 7647-14-5. The substance is an ionic compound with the formula NaCl. Sodium chloride is soluble in water and glycerol, but insoluble in alcohol. Sodium chloride is stable. You must avoid contact with strong acids which when in contact may evolve chlorine gas. Sodium chloride will become corrosive to metals when wet. What's more, its EINECS number is 231-598-3.

Water solution of Sodium chloride is alkaline with the PH value 6.7-7.3. It is soluble in water, salty, and has low thermal conductivity. In addition, it won't conduct electricity. Sodium chloride has a strong hygroscopicity and can deliquesce easily. Rock salt is the most widely content in salt mine.

Sodium chloride is an ionic compound found in various foods and medical treatments. More commonly referred to as “salt” or “table salt,” sodium chloride is used as a seasoning in many foods.

Medically, sodium chloride solutions are used in catheter flush injections or intravenous infusions, and for cleaning objects such as contact lenses in the form of saline. Sodium chloride inhalation can remove certain bacteria in body secretions.
