Salt is currently mass produced by evaporation of seawater or brine from other sources, such as brine wells and salt lakes, and by mining rock salt, called halite. In 2002, world production was estimated at 210 million metric tonnes, the top five producers being the United States (40.3 million tonnes), China (32.9), Germany (17.7), India (14.5), and Canada (12.3).
As well as the familiar uses of salt in cooking, salt is used in many applications, from manufacturing pulp and paper to setting dyes in textiles and fabric, to producing soaps and detergents. In cold countries, large quantities of rock salt are used to help clear highways of ice during winter, although "Road Salt" loses its melting ability at temperatures below -15°C to -20°C (5°F to -4°F). Sodium chloride is sometimes used as a cheap and safe desiccant due to its hygroscopic properties, making salting an effective method of food preservation historically. Even though more effective desiccants are available, few are safe for humans to ingest.
can you please answer mine??
The body doesn't produce sodium chloride.
Sodium chloride in solution or melted is a good conductor of electricity; but sodium chloride doesn't produce electricity.
Pure sodium chloride crystals are transparent.
Sodium chloride
This is not a correct question.
The melting point of sodium chloride is 801 0C. The electrolysis of molten sodium chloride produce sodium and chlorine.
Sodium Chloride, common table salt, will not burn.
Sodium chloride is the product of this reaction:NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O
Sodium chloride does not react with water to produce sodium hydroxide because sodium chloride is a stable salt compound. The chemical structure of sodium chloride does not readily break down in water to form sodium hydroxide. Instead, sodium chloride dissociates into sodium and chloride ions in water due to its ionic nature.
Hydrochloric acid is commonly used to produce sodium chloride through the reaction of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide.
The balanced equation for sodium and chlorine to produce sodium chloride is: 2Na(s) + Cl2(g) -> 2NaCl(s)
In a flame, sodium chloride produces a bright orange-yellow colour.
