Move the water molecules and sodium and chloride ions to model how water dissolves salt. Tape the molecules and ions to the paper to represent water dissolving salt. Project the animation Sodium ...

Explain that as the water evaporates, water molecules go into the air. The water molecules that evaporate become a gas called water vapor. Only the water evaporates, leaving the sodium and chloride ...

The other hydrate, with 13 water molecules for every sodium chloride, might be found at the bottom of the oceans of the icy worlds, Dr. Journaux said.

This photomicrograph shows the newly discovered hydrate that has two sodium chloride molecules for every 17 water molecules. This crystal formed at high pressure but remains stable in cold, low ...

At the molecular level, the salt molecules get in the way of the bonding water molecules helping it not to freeze. The regular freezing point of water is 32 degrees. Adding sodium chloride lowers ...

A UB-led research team has developed molecules that could help unclog thick, sticky mucus from the lungs of people suffering from cystic fibrosis. The chronic disease is caused by a defective protein ...
