Lets start out with one of those "do not try this at home" deals without all the explaining. You can heat either salt or baking soda to their melting points, and run an electrical charge through the liquid. Use inert electrodes, like graphite rods. Salt melts at a lower temperature making it easier to use, but it releases chlorine gas. baking soda, or sodium bicarbonate, needs a higher temperature that you probably would be unable to attain with normal household means, but CO2 gas is released in the electrolysis reaction instead of deadly Cl. The end product of this reaction will leave you with impure sodium metal. You can react this with water to make NaOH + H. CAUTION: pure sodium reacts VERY violently with water. pea sized chunks will bounce around until consumed while larger chunks will EXPLODE. you have been warned.
What else can I help you with?
Is salt the same as sodium?
No, salt and sodium are not the same. Salt is a compound made of sodium and chloride ions, whereas sodium is a natural element found in many foods. Sodium is a component of salt, but salt contains other minerals as well.
How can you convert sodium propanoate to ethane?
Sodium propanoate cannot be directly converted into ethane. Ethane is a simple hydrocarbon (C2H6), while sodium propanoate is a salt of propanoic acid. You would need a series of complex chemical reactions involving multiple steps to convert sodium propanoate into ethane.
Is sodium oxalate a salt?
Yes, sodium oxalate is a salt. It is the sodium salt of oxalic acid.
Is sodium also called salt?
Sodium is a chemical element, a metal. Sodium chloride is a salt.
Is all sodium salt?
Not all salts contain sodium. Sodium salt specifically refers to a compound where sodium is bonded to another element to form a salt. Sodium chloride (table salt) is a common example, but there are many other types of salts that do not contain sodium.
How much salt would equal 242mg sodium?
58.5mg salt = 23mg sodium ? = 58.5x242/23
If only the sodium figure is given on a label what should you multiply the figure by to get the amount of salt?
To convert sodium to salt, you can multiply the sodium amount by 2.5. This is because salt (sodium chloride) is about 40% sodium by weight. So, if the label only provides the sodium content, multiplying by 2.5 will give you an estimate of the salt content.
How much salt in Sour cream container says 15mg?
If a sour cream container states that it contains 15 mg of salt, this refers to the sodium content, as salt (sodium chloride) is often measured in terms of sodium. To convert sodium to salt, you can multiply the sodium amount by approximately 2.5. Therefore, 15 mg of sodium would correspond to about 37.5 mg of salt. This is a relatively small amount, indicating that the sour cream is low in salt.
Does sodium have salt in it?
Sodium chloride (salt, NaCl) has sodium in it.
Is salt the same as sodium?
No, salt and sodium are not the same. Salt is a compound made of sodium and chloride ions, whereas sodium is a natural element found in many foods. Sodium is a component of salt, but salt contains other minerals as well.

Why doe sodium and chlorine gas make salt when sodium is salt?
Salt is sodium and chloride, sodium is an element by itself.
Is sodium oxalate a salt?
Yes, sodium oxalate is a salt. It is the sodium salt of oxalic acid.
What is salt sodium chloride?
sea salt which is based on the metal sodium.
Is sodium also called salt?
Sodium is a chemical element, a metal. Sodium chloride is a salt.
What type of salt has sodium for its scientific name?
A common salt of sodium is sodium chloride.
How do you make the low sodium from sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride, NaCl, is common salt or table salt. Low sodium salt is generally made by mixing sodium chloride with potassium chloride, thereby reducing the amount of sodium in the salt.
