Question

Why does sodium chloride not fizz when it is added to water?

Answer 1

yes, no gas is realeased and the reaction does not be highly exothermic, so solubility of gases dissolved in water is not mowered

Answer 2

When sodium chloride is dissolved in aqueous water, its ionic bonds

                         NaCl + H2O -> Na+ + Cl- + H2O

are separated by water's consistent hydrogen bonds, forming the ions Na+ and Cl-.  "Fizzing" involves gas being released by the solute into the solvent .  But in this case, there is no gas released.  There are only solid and liquid states involved.

Answer 3

There isn't any gas released.....the salt just dissolves and is ionized.
