Where does common salt come from?
Common salt, also known as sodium chloride, is primarily obtained from mining underground salt deposits or from evaporating sea water. The salt is extracted, purified, and processed into the familiar white crystals that are used for various purposes, such as seasoning food and preserving ingredients.
How much sodium in diets comes from salt shakers?
Typically, only about 10% of sodium in diets comes directly from salt shakers. The majority of dietary sodium actually comes from processed and restaurant foods. Monitor intake from all sources to maintain a healthy balance.
Why does molten salt explode under certain conditions?
Molten salt can explode under certain conditions because when it comes into contact with water or moisture, it can rapidly vaporize and expand, causing a sudden release of pressure that leads to an explosion.
How does nitric acid and salt react?
When nitric acid comes in contact with salt (sodium chloride), a chemical reaction occurs where the nitric acid protonates the chloride ion in salt, forming hydrochloric acid and nitrate salt. This reaction releases heat and can produce toxic nitrogen oxides fumes.
Will dry ice melt on contact with salt?
No, dry ice will not melt on contact with salt. In the first place, dry ice does not melt. It does not have a liquid phase under normal atmospheric pressure. It transforms from solid to gas, which is called sublimation. Dry ice sublimes, rather than melts. Secondly, salt has no effect on the sublimation of dry ice. Salt has an effect on frozen water, but it does not have an effect on frozen carbon dioxide. Salt is soluble in water, it is not soluble in carbon dioxide.
Does salt have a chemical to make it melt ice slower?
As where you may think that this is correct, it most certainly is not. It is actually a chemical reaction that occurs when salt comes into contact with ice. Well, you learn something new everyday. -Psymonkey21
What is in the water sophener salt that mets the ice?
Salt. Salt lowers the temperature at which water freezes, so will melt ice it comes into contact with.
Are there saltwater houseboats?
no actually the salt water comes from animal in the water
Does salt effectively kill bugs?
Yes, salt can effectively kill bugs by dehydrating them. When salt comes into contact with insects, it absorbs moisture from their bodies, causing them to dry out and die.
Does salt affect how fast ice melt in a cup of water?
Salt affects how fast ice melts in a cup of water. When you add salt, the melting process will be faster but it will only affect the part of the ice cube that comes into contact with salt.
Why does molten salt explode?
Molten salt can explode when it comes into contact with water or moisture because the water can rapidly vaporize and expand, causing a sudden release of pressure that leads to an explosion.
What is happening when you add salt to water?
Depending on how much salt you add to the water and how warm the water is... the salt will disolve

Does salt comes from sea water?
yes Not all salt. There are salt mines all over the world where most of our salt comes from.

Why does salt kill bugs?
Salt kills bugs by dehydrating them. When salt comes into contact with a bug, it absorbs the moisture from their bodies, causing them to dry out and die. This process is effective in killing bugs because it disrupts their ability to regulate water and ultimately leads to their demise.
Is the salt water actually salt?
Salt water is a solution of salt, containing of course salt.
