This is the mineral (not rock) halite.
Rock salt is sodium chloride (NaCl).
Rock salt (halite) is impure sodium chloride (NaCl).
sodium chloride
Evaporation of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution.
Sodium chloride is salt (table salt, rock salt, halite).
No, it is the compound sodium chloride, a pure substance.
The rock formed from the addition of sodium chloride to water would be a chemical sedimentary rock known as halite (rock salt). Halite forms when dissolved salt in water evaporates and precipitates out, eventually forming solid crystals of halite.
Sodium chloride is table salt (edible salt); as a mineral is known as rock salt or halite.
Rock salt (sodium chloride) is a compound - NaCl.
Halite is a mineral composed of sodium chloride and is commonly known as rock salt. Therefore, a chemically formed sedimentary rock composed of halite would be identified as rock salt or halite rock.
Sodium chloride is not a rock: in the nature NaCl exist as the mineral halite.
Rock salt is impure sodium chloride.
