Best Answer

Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is the common household salt we use in our daily lives. Taken in moderation, it is not at all hazardous or injurious to our health. Word of caution is that patients with high blood pressure (Hypertension) should not use large quantities of any substance with Sodium (Na) in it.

The injection form of Sodium Chloride (also called as normal saline) can be used by mouth without any problems / side effects as it is essentially the house hold salt dissolved in water which is given intravenously.

How does body cells readily differentiate between sodium chloride and potassium chloride?

Sodium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,1. Potassium chloride has got electron configuration of 2,8,8,1. They behave identically in almost all the chemical reactions. But then you have potassium chloride molecule inside the cell. You need to have sodium chloride molecules out side the body cell to make them survive. If you get intravenous injection of sodium chloride, nothing will happen to you. If you give intravenous injection of potassium chloride, you will die instantly. How body cells recognize the difference between sodium chloride and potassium chloride in no time is the big question mark.
