Emergent properties are new properties that arise with each step upward in the hierarchy of life, owing to the arrangement and interactions of parts as complexity increases. The physical, chemical, and biological properties of salt are the emergent properties.

Sodium is a metal and Chlorine is a poisonous gas, but when mixed together they form Sodium chloride, which has a crystal structure. This physical property is an example of how table salt is an emergent property.

Table salt is said to have emergent properties because the compound has different characteristics from those of its elements. It is composed of Sodium which is a metal and Chlorine a poisonous gas but when chemically combined together they form an edible substance.

Table salt is made of sodium and chlorine which are poisonous still you eat table salt without getting poisoned explain why?

When sodium and chlorine combine to form table salt (sodium chloride), they undergo a chemical reaction that changes their properties. Table salt is a stable compound that your body can tolerate in small amounts without causing harm. The individual elements of sodium and chlorine are toxic in their pure form, but when they form table salt, their toxicity is significantly reduced.


What the difference between table salt and epsom salt?

Table salt is primarily composed of sodium and chloride ions, used as a seasoning in cooking. Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, commonly used in baths for its potential therapeutic benefits such as muscle relaxation and stress relief. Table salt is for seasoning food, while Epsom salt is often used for external applications.


When hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide combine do they form table salt or sodium metal?

I'm pretty sure combined they form table salt because sodium and chlorine make salt and they have similar properties and it said so in my textbook so yes I think it forms table salt. An acid + metal hydroxide => Salt and water Therefore Hydrochloric acid + Sodium hydroxide => Sodium Chloride + water


Table salt sodium chloride one of the most common substances occurring in nature is best classified as what?

Table salt, sodium chloride, is best classified as a chemical compound. It is formed when sodium and chlorine atoms chemically combine to create a stable structure with distinct properties.


When hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide combine they from what?

When hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide combine, they form water and sodium chloride, also known as table salt. This reaction is a neutralization reaction where the acid and base neutralize each other's properties.

Can table salt be used in place of Epsom's salt?

Not really. Table salt is Sodium chloride whereas Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate and is composed of magnesium, sulfur and oxygen and unlike table salt, it has to be refined before it has any particular use. Table salt will not have the same muscle relaxing effect as Epsom salts, and you may find table salt more drying to the skin.


What is the properties of table salt?

Did the properties of table salt and water change when they were stirred together?

Salt dissolves in water. The resultant liquid has higher density than pure H2O. Teh salt solution has less electrical resistance than pure water, it tastes different too. Depending on how much salt and how much water were mixed, some salt might remain undissolved (the mixture is saturated).


How does salt and sodium differ?

Well, sodium is an element and table salt (the salt I think you are refering to) is a compound of NaCl, or sodium chloride. As far as their preservative properties go, I have no idea what the difference is.


Did sodium chloride have any dangerous properties?
