Dissolving a Salt Crystal
This simulation allows you to witness the processes of dissolving a salt crystal in water at an atomic level (or at least the ion level). In it you'll see why water is such a good dissolver and what is meant when we say a NaCl is in the aqueous state.
Once you're done interacting with the Dissolving a Salt simulation, you might wish to try our
Dissolving a Sugar Crystal Simulation.
Users are encouraged to open the simulation and explore. A Student Activity Sheet is not needed for this simulation.
Learners and Instructors may also be interested in viewing the accompanying

We owe a special thanks to Physics and Chemistry teacher Chris Bruce (

SimBucket) for creating this simulation for us in order to add it to our Interactives collection.
