The theoretical boiling point of NaCl?

Sodium chloride (NaCl) is an ionic compound and does not boil in the traditional sense. Instead, it undergoes a process called decomposition or dissociation when heated to a sufficiently high temperature. The temperature at which this occurs is known as the decomposition point or dissociation point of NaCl.

The decomposition point of NaCl is approximately 1461 °C (2662 °F) at standard pressure. At this temperature, NaCl breaks down into its constituent elements, sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl), in the form of a gas.

The decomposition reaction of NaCl can be represented as follows:

2NaCl(s) → 2Na(g) + Cl2(g)

Therefore, the theoretical boiling point of NaCl does not exist as it decomposes before it can reach a boiling point.
