NaCl is iodised salt and iodine show sublimation so while cooking is there any iodine present after the the food is cooked?

Iodised salt contains a very small amount of iodine added to prevent iodine deficiency. When heated during cooking, the iodine content in iodised salt does not vaporize or sublimate significantly to create a health concern. Hence, the amount of iodine present in the food after cooking from iodised salt is negligible and safe.

What is the mass of the table salt if the combined mass of the table salt and the container is 124g and the mass of the container is 9g?

The mass of the table salt can be calculated by subtracting the mass of the container from the combined mass of the table salt and the container. So, 124g - 9g = 115g. Therefore, the mass of the table salt is 115g.


When was iodine added to salt?

From Wikipedia: "United States In the U.S. in the early 20th century, goitre was especially prevalent in the region around the Great Lakes and the Pacific Northwest.[6] David Murray Cowie, a professor of paediatrics at the University of Michigan, led the U.S. to adopt the Swiss practice of adding sodium iodide or potassium iodide to table and cooking salt. On May 1, 1924, iodised salt was sold commercially in Michigan.[7] By the fall of 1924, Morton Salt Company began distributing iodised salt nationally." Also iodates of Na and K can be added; now this practice is well known around the world and is legal in some countries. It is strange, but some crazy sectarians are against this procedure !

Iodised salt is considered a mixture because it consists of two components: regular table salt (sodium chloride) and an added iodine compound, typically potassium iodide or potassium iodate.

Thus, iodised salt does not have a uniform composition throughout, which is characteristic of mixtures.
