CasNo: 7647-14-5
Molecular Formula: NaCl
Appearance: Colorless crystals
Description |
The electrolyte, sodium chloride , NaCl, is commonly known as salt. It is readily available and inexpensive. |
Uses |
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is used to prevent dehydration, and is often administered as a normal saline solution during resuscitation. It can also be used as a solvent to deliver medications. Sodium Chloride Injection BP 0.9% is used to replace lost body fluids and salts. |
Air & Water Reactions |
Water soluble. |
Reactivity Profile |
Sodium chloride is generally unreactive. Releases gaseous hydrogen chloride if mixed with a concentrated nonvolatile acid such as sulfuric acid. |
Fire Hazard |
Literature sources indicate that Sodium chloride is nonflammable. |
Flammability and Explosibility |
Nonflammable |
Function |
Sodium chloride helps maintain the body's balance of fluids and electrolytes, and plays a role in many other functions, including: Regulating blood pressure Absorbing and transporting nutrients Transmitting nerve impulses Contracting and relaxing muscles Maintaining water balance Regulating osmotic pressure |

Two independent methods were used to generate the aerosol particles, namely by vaporizing and condensing granular sodium chloride and by electrospraying a high-purity sodium chloride aqueous solution, to investigate possible effects of impurities on the results. The DRH and ERH values were the same within experimental uncertainty for the particles generated by the two methods.
The data reviewed here suggest that halophytes tolerate cytoplasmic Na+ and Cl− concentrations of 100–200 mm, but whether these ions ever reach toxic concentrations that inhibit metabolism in the cytoplasm or cause death is unknown. Measurements of ion concentrations in the cytosol of various cell types for contrasting species and growth conditions are needed. Future work should also focus on the properties of the tonoplast that enable ion accumulation and prevent ion leakage, such as the special properties of ion transporters and of the lipids that determine membrane permeability.
