Natron, the name of a naturally occurring sodium carbonate compound, was used in the embalming process during the preparation of mummies. Deposits of this mineral were mined from dry lake bottoms in Egypt.
The ancient Egyptians used a chemical called Natron to embalm both the organs and the bodies of mummies. Natron is a naturally occurring salt that is very abundant in Africa, often found in dry lake beds.
I assume you mean in ancient Egypt. Actually, they used salt, and let it sit.A variety of chemicals are used to embalm bodies to prevent decomposition. Most commonly formaldehyde, methanol and ethanol are used, along with some other solvents.In mummification the body was preserved using natron, a salt-like substance, and the organs were removed and some of them were placed in small jars.
There is no definite answer, but many believe that mummies were embalmed with natron salts, which is a mixture of different salts and occurs naturally in salt lakes. Fun fact: the chemical symbol for sodium, Na, comes from "natron."
Natron is a salty chemical found near Cairo, Wadi-Natron, and south of Thebes. Egyptians used natron to embalm the body which took 70 days. Embalmers used natron to preserve the dead body and their organs. The bodies were placed in natron and embalmers packed the inside of the body with natron. This was to dry out the body and preserve it for the afterlife. Embalmers may have reused the natron. Ancient Egyptians had to preserve the body because they believed that if the body decayed the person's seven spirits would be lost forever and the spirit would never pass to the afterlife. Therefore, natron played an important role in the mummification process.
Soy sauce does not have a chemical formula. Instead, it has many ingredients in it that might have a chemical formula, like fermented soybeans with Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus soyae molds, along with water and salt. Some varieties are also made with roasted grain.
salt More specifically, natron, which is a salty ash-like mineral in dry lake and river beds. This, specifically, is what the ancient Egyptians used in their preservation of bodies and organs.

Its not a chemical change when you see the salt dissolving because if your were to put something else like sugar then it would be a chemical.
Chemicals used in current day embalming are: formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, methanol and ethanol.
No, salt is a chemical compound.
Salt is a chemical compound. It has chemical and physical properties.
A salt is a type of chemical compound, not a reaction.
There are many salts, no one name applies to them all. Receiving a salt like Tin II Bromide (SnBr2) and assuming it is the same as table salt (NaCl) would create both chemical and dietary problems.The chemical name of salt is sodium chloride - NaCl.
The chemical formula for table salt is NaCl.
The chemical formula of salt is NaCl. The chemical formula of sugar (sucrose) is C12H22O11.
