Characteristic
Sodium chloride, commonly known as salt (though sea salt also contains other chemical salts), is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl.
Chemical formula:NaCl
Molar mass:58.443 g/mol
Appearance:Colorless cubic crystals
Odor:Odorless
Density:2.17 g/cm3
Melting point:800.7 °C (1,473.3 °F; 1,073.8 K)
Boiling point:1,465 °C (2,669 °F; 1,738 K)
Solubility in water:360 g/L
Solubility in ammonia:21.5 g/L
Solubility in methanol:14.9 g/L
Application
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is widely used in biochemistry and molecular biology applications. It is considered an essential nutrient. It is used in a wide variety of biochemical applications including creating density gradients, regulating biological functions and as a diluent to increase ionic strength in buffers or culture media. NaCl is a component of phosphate buffered saline and SSC buffer. It has also been used for precipitation of DNA from SDS-containing samples and in the removal of small nucleic acid fragments from plasmid DNA preparations.
