Is salt made out of two or more minerals?
Table salt is sodium and chloride, often with added iodide; however, it doesn't start out that way. There are hundreds of minerals in natural sea salt.
What is the chemical formula of lithium dioxide?
LiIAdded:LiI is the formula of lithium iodide, often misspelled as '...iodine'
Is sodium hydroxide same as sodium phosphate?
No. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH; it is a strong base often used in drain cleaner. Sodium phosphate is Na3PO4; it is a weak base with a number of applications in cleaning and in food.
What is the difference between hyponatremia and dehydration?
Dehydration is inadequate water in the body. It occurs when fluid losses from vomitting, diarrhea, urinating or "insensible losses" (through the breath and skin) exceed fluid intake. Hyponatremia means low sodium concentration in the blood. It can imply too little sodium in the body but more often is from an imbalance in the amount of sodium to water. This can be associated with dehydration if the sodium loss is greater than the water loss or from an increase in the total body water (often with increased total body sodium).
What is the Difference between sodium hydroxide and sodium hydroxymethyl glycinate?
sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) often used in making soap sodium hydroxymethyl glycinate a plant based preservative with a structure base on the amino acid, glycine. Has antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties to protect product integrity over time.
What must happen to a substance like sodium iodide in water to allow it to conduct electricity?
The substance must separate into distinct electrically charged units that are capable of migration independently of each other. For a salt such as sodium iodide, these units are sodium cations and iodide anions. Therefore, the process is often called "ionization".
What is the element name for table salt?
Sodium chloride, NaCl. Table salt often contains an anti-caking agent and an iodide salt. The iodide is added for public health reasons in some countries to avoid iodine deficiency.

Bromine added to sodium iodide?
Ethanol and NaBr. The delta negative OH dissociates from Sodium creating an +Na ion. The Bromine withdraws the electron density towards itself leaving the Carbon delta +. This means that the -OH will attack the +C removing -Br.
You want to know for any toxic element present in common salt?
Salt is toxic is massive excess. The only other thing in common salt is anti-caking agent in table salt, and in some countries, iodide as a nutritional supplement. The anti-caking agent is often potassium or sodium ferrocyanide, but there are others that are used.

Can potassium iodide taken internally?
Yes, in small amounts. Potassium iodide is often added to table salt as a preventative against the disease goiter.
What is the formula for hydrogen monoiodide?
Often refered to by its simpler name, hydrogen iodide, the symbol is HI.
Is there sodium found in vinegar?
yes.Distilled vinegar contains minute amounts of sodium chloride, commonly known as table salt. But the amount present is often in very small amounts compared to other types of vinegars, and would hardly affect the sodium intake if consumed as per normally.

Is salt made of Iodine?
Regular "table salt" is a compound of sodium and chlorine. Iodine is often added to it before it's sold, as a dietary supplement to protect against the dangers of iodine- deficiency diseases, but iodine is a separate element that's not involved in the composition of pure table salt. But there are "salts" of other elements too, and they include things like silver iodide and potassium iodide, in which iodine is part of the chemical compound.
Why is sodium chloride used?
Sodium chloride is often used as a household salt.
