Question

Is dissolving salt in water a redox reaction?


Open in App
Solution

  • Redox reaction is the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction process takes place simultaneously.
  • If we dissolve a common salt like Sodium chloride(NaCl) in water, there is no loss or gain of electrons taking place.
  • When we dissolve salt in water, a homogeneous solution is formed.
  • So we can say that dissolving salt in water is not a redox reaction.

Hence, dissolving salt in water is not a redox reaction.
