Sea salt is a mixture of a lot of different salts, which may be poisonous too. It consists majority of common salt (NaCl) but also consists of some other dissolved salts like Potassium Bromide, Calcium salts and others. As all salts are salty, the sea water is salty, too
By Katy... :
When you say that some salts are poisonous, They are probably not. If you have gone swimming in the sea and have got it in your mouth (which most people probably have) then you will find that you don't become seriously ill if you accidentally swallow some! The only time you can say that sea salt is poisonous is when you purposely swallow it constantly!!
the only part of salt water that is poisonous is the dead sea!

∙ 8y agoIn "common salt", which is table salt, there is generally a mixture of sodium chloride (NaCl) and some iodide salts), so it would be a mixture. If you simply had sodium chloride (NaCl), without the added iodine, it would be a pure substance (provided no other impurities are present).

Does sea water has a higher density than pure water?
Sea salt and table salt are made of the same chemical compound. They have the same density. Sea salt is slightly less refined than table salt and may contained more minerals.
How do you make your own sea salt with regular salt?
Pure table salt obtained from rock salt or sea water are similar - sodium chloride, NaCl. It is not necessary to prepare a homemade sea salt (excepting the situations when other salt doesn't exist).
Is mineral salt and sea salt the same?
Sea salt is derived from the evaporation of sea water. Mineral salt, on the other hand, are inorganic salts that include phosphate, calcium, chloride, sodium and potassium.
What does salt do to the sea?
Salted water is denser than pure water; the freezing point is lower.
Can sea salt be substituted for table salt?
Yes. Sea salt is obtained by the evaporation of seawater. Its mineral content gives it a different taste and chemical composition from table salt, which is pure sodium chloride. The additional minerals include Sulfate, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium among other trace minerals.
What is the freezing point of sea water and pure water?
the sea water contains more salt. the pure water do not contain salt. the density of sea water is more than density of pure water. as there is more salt in sea water it is corrosive against the metals like aluminium. the pure water is not corrosive in nature. sea water is harmful for drinking. pure water is good for drinking.
How sea salt is made?
Sea salt is made by evaporateng sea water, in large factorys, to leave the pure salt, then it is washed, ground down and shipped to places around the world.
What ore that is almost pure salt?
Salt is mined, so it would be pure salt. Mined salt, unlike sea salt, has to be processed and cleaned. Chemicals are used for the cleaning process and for making it white.

Can you use salt from the sea to put on food?
Yes. Its called Sea Salt and you can buy it from any health food store. Many countries use manufacture salt for human consumption from sea water. Sea water is allowed to flood shallow lakes called salt pans. After the water evaporates the salt is collected and impurities are removed to produce pure salt. Potassium iodide is sometimes added as many diets are lacking in iodine. Pure salt is white.
Is mineral salt and sea salt the same?
Sea salt is derived from the evaporation of sea water. Mineral salt, on the other hand, are inorganic salts that include phosphate, calcium, chloride, sodium and potassium.
What does salt do to the sea?

What are the benefits of converting salt water into pure water?
you can drink pure water and irrigate with it. if the only water available is the sea then you would have to convert it
How does the Morton Salt Company on Inagua make salt?
Water from sea water is evaporated to obtain impure salt; after crystallization/recrystallization repeated processes pure table salt is obtained.
Can sea salt be substituted for table salt?
Yes. Sea salt is obtained by the evaporation of seawater. Its mineral content gives it a different taste and chemical composition from table salt, which is pure sodium chloride. The additional minerals include Sulfate, Magnesium, Potassium and Calcium among other trace minerals.
Is a pile of salt an element compound or mixture?
If you have a pile of pure sodium chloride, it would be a compound. A lot of the salt used as table salt, though, is not pure sodium chloride and would be a mixture of several compounds. This is particularly true if you have a pile of sea salt.
