Who created sodium and when?

Sodium was not created. It occurs naturally. For example, every person's body needs a certain level of sodium to function.

It, or more accurately its compounds (such as the aforementioned "salt"), have been known since ancient times. The first person to isolate the pure metal was Sir Humphrey Davy in 1807.

What is the average cost for table salt in a year?

If a person was following the daily recommended allowance for sodium and he/she received all their sodium from table salt, they would take 4000 mg (4 grams) per day, which is equivalent to 1600 mg of sodium. So table salt, sodium chloride, requirement for 1 year would be 4 grams x 365 days = 1460 grams of salt. In the United States, salt is sold by the pound (which weighs 454 grams). So, in a year, a person would need 3.22 pounds of salt, which costs about 85 cents per pound, so the total in salt would be $2.73 US. Most of the sodium we eat is not from salt but is already in the food, so this answer could vary greatly depending on your diet.

The salt is then cut into blocks and sold. There are different colors of sea salt from white to black. It just depends on where the salt comes from in the world. It can also be bought as a fine grain salt to salt crystals.
