The word "salt" is used in chemistry to mean any ionic compound, some of which are indeed extremely dangerous. However, common table salt is simply sodium chloride, which is not particularly dangerous (of course, just about anything can be dangerous if you eat enough of it). Sometimes small amounts of other somewhat more toxic compounds (e.g. potassium iodide) are added, though the quantities used should not cause problems for anyone who isn't allergic to them.

Do salt or sugar crystals grow faster and why?

Sugar crystals tend to grow faster than salt crystals because sugar molecules are larger and more prone to clustering together, allowing for quicker crystal formation. Additionally, sugar is more soluble in water compared to salt, which also contributes to faster crystal growth.

Why is citric acid more soluble than salt and sugar?

Citric acid is more soluble than salt and sugar because it has more polar groups that can interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding, increasing its solubility. In contrast, salt and sugar have stronger ionic interactions that may not be as favorable for dissolution in water.
