Detailed Solution

Concept- Sodium chloride is the commonly used table salt. It is the salt which is responsible for the salinity of seawater. Salinity is defined as the amount of salt that is present in water.
Sodium chloride is a white crystalline powder, odourless and has a strong salty taste. Sodium chloride is readily soluble in water and insoluble or slightly soluble in other liquids. When melted or dissolved in water, the ions are free to move, so dissolved or molten sodium chloride is a conductor of electricity. It can be decomposed into sodium and chlorine by passing an electric current.
Sodium chloride is the salt that we use on a daily basis in food preparation.
Hence, the common name of sodium chloride is table salt.
