When NaCl is dissolved in water, it separates into Na+ and CI-ions, which are also dissolved in water. How would the phase of the NaCl, the Na+, and the CI- be written in the reaction equation?
A. (g)
B. (1)
C. (aq)
D.(s)

While it's true that when a crystal of the ionic substance sodium chloride is dissolved in water the sodium and chloride ions separate from one another, they do not separate to form lumps of sodium metal or to form chlorine gas. Rather, they remain as single Na+ and Cl− ions, surrounded by water molecules.

Explanation:

i'm pretty sure its b i might be wrong though!
