it is an acid and a solutions and solutions are a mixture that dissolve in liquid substances
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, NaCl is not an acid, it is a salt (an ionic compound composed from a cation and anion, of course). Since it's an ionic compound, it is composed of Na+ and Cl- ions, and they are attracted by the polarity of the water molecule, H2O. This characteristic of water will pull apart individual Na+ and Cl- ions, in a process called solvation. This is how an ionic solid (salt) dissociates in water. :)
