Sodium is an alkali metal. It is very reactive, especially with water. People generally store it under oil so it doesn't react with the water in the air. Eating it will burn your mouth from the water in your saliva.
Salt (like table salt) is a crystal made up of sodium cations [cat-i-ons] and chlorine anions [an-i-ons]. Eating it will dissolve the crystal but keep the atoms in their cation and anion states, so it does not burn your mouth. In chemistry, it is also used to describe any solid that forms from a reaction (usually acids reacting with bases).
If you're asking from a chemistry perspective, Sodium is a pure element (Na); a metal violently reactive with water salt that oxidizes quickly in air. Salt is a compound formed by mixing acids and bases, ending with a electrically neutral product (salt).
If you're looking at a nutritional label, sodium refers to the amount of salt in the food item. Since sodium is one of the essential electrolytes of the body, it is usually featured on nutritional labels to help you maintain necessary levels of sodium in the body to maintain proper functioning. Diets with high sodium intake are thought to have ill effects on the body, particularly the cardiovascular system. Eating large amounts of salt in a limited amount of time can actually be lethal.
If you're asking in terms of table salt, it is a compound made up of two elements, Sodium and Chloride (chlorine). Sea salt is also made up of primarily sodium and chloride but contains other minerals as well.
potassium. it has the molar mass of 39.098 while sodium has the molar mass of 22.99
No.
Salt is a compound Sodium chloride
Potassium is an element
On of the periodic trends is that as you move down the table and to the left, metals become more reactive. Potassium is below sodium, so it is indeed more reactive.
Sodium
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is available as a sodium salt (delayed-release) or potassium salt (immediate-release)
Potassium salt is not better; it is recommended for some diets without sodium.
Salt (sodium chloride) is an electrolyte in water solutions or when is melted. Potassium is a chemical element.
Sodium is Na and is just an element and also is a metal. Sodium selenite is a compound Na2SeO3 which is water soluble and it considered to be a salt.
All types of refined sodium chloride (NaCl) are identical.
Potassium chloride is a compound of potassium, and is a salt you can use as an alternative for sodium salt. Potassium itself is a chemical element and is highly reactive.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). It is available as a sodium salt (delayed-release) or potassium salt (immediate-release)
Low sodium salt is a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride, but the normal salt is only sodium chloride.
Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), available as a potassium salt (immediate-release) or sodium salt (delayed-release).
The colors in the flame test are different (yellow for sodium, lilac for potassium).The taste is also different.
No, salt is composed of sodium and chloride.
Common salt is naturally a low iodine salt. It is pure sodium chloride. Iodine is adding in common salt to get more nutritional benefits. Whereas the low sodium salt is a mixture of common salt with potassium chloride to reduce the danger of high BP induced by the sodium in the common salt.
Potassium salt is not better; it is recommended for some diets without sodium.
No. While sodium on a nutrient label does mean salt, potassium has absolutely nothing to do with pepper.
Sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt. Additives may include potassium chloride and potassium iodide.
Iodine is added to salt as potassium (sodium) iodide or potassium (sodium) iodate. An iodine deficiency is a source of thyroide diseases or can lead to idiocy.
Lite salt is half sodium chloride and half potassium chloride. Since potassium is heavier than sodium, lite salt has less than half the sodium as regular salt, about 0.44 times as much.
