Through electrolysis. Have a 9V battery with probes attached on hand, and use a blowtorch or the highest temperature on your stove to melt the salt. Then, put the probes in the molten salt, and make sure you don't breath in the fumes it gives off (chlorine gas will kill you). You're left with pure sodium, which makes for some great pranks involving water. ;)
Contrary to [un]popular belief, refining Sodium Chloride into Sodium is in fact dechlorination, because the chlorine is completely removed from the molecule.
salt is not from salt water
Plain salt would mean ordinary table salt, as opposed to flavored salt . There are onion salt, garlic salt, seasoned salt, smoked salt , celery salt, etc. -- none of these would be plain salt.
Table salt is a salt - sodium chloride, NaCl.
Do the salt residue and salt have the same texture
Salt and grit salt are exactly the same, so you don't.
Most dechlorinators work instantly.
Perhaps you did not dechlorinate the water beforehand?
Yes, definitely. The conditioner not only keeps your water quality great, but it also dechlorinates the water, which is necessary for any fish to survive. If you are using distilled water, then you do not have to dechlorinate it, but if your water is from the tap or is chlorinated, then you must dechlorinate it. Also, a quick word of advice: Check to see if your conditioner also removes chloramine! Chloramine is toxic to fish, and some water conditioners do not remove it. Only purchase the best water conditioner.
NO! Hydrogen peroxide will poison your fish. If you go to a pet store they willl have the proper water treatment for your tank. This neutralises all the things in tapwater that are harmful to fish (such as chloramine, ammonia and heavy metals - it's not just chlorine that is bad for them). If you know exactly what is in your local water supply and have a very good understanding of water chemistry, you can use pure crystals of sodium thiosulfate to dechlorinate the water. This is the chemical mixed in most commercial water treatments to remove the chlorine.
Let it stand for a couple of days with the aerator going should do the trick or go to a pet or aquarium suplyer and they will give you the right material to do it more quickly. ____________________________________________ Right, there are a number of products available to dechlorinate water instantly, also a good way is to use R/O water (Reverse Osmosis). Many petstores and even a few supermarkets have R/O units and the units are available to purchase for home use.
sitting the water out overnight de-chlorinates it. chlorine is very bad for fish. and litting the water sit lets it evaporate. it also saves you money from having to buy them bottles that dechlorinate for you.
Salt water is a solution of salt, containing of course salt.
salt is not from salt water
No. salt water is salt water. it already has salt in it
acidic salt basic salt normal salt
Salt. Nothing else added. Salt is a crystal and rock salt is salt that is not made into a fine grained salt.
NaCl is commonly known as table salt - Na=Sodium Cl=Chloride
