Which salt is least likely found in minerals?

The least likely salt found in minerals is sodium chloride, also known as table salt. Although sodium chloride is a common mineral, it is not found in naturally occurring crystals in the same way as other mineral salts like halite or sylvite. Sodium chloride is primarily obtained through evaporation of seawater or salt flats.


Are Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent and Normal Saline the same solution?

Yes, Sodium Chloride 0.9% and Normal Saline are the same solution. Normal Saline is a sterile solution of 0.9% sodium chloride in water, commonly used in medical settings for hydration and to dilute medications.


Would you expect sodium fluoride to produce the same color as sodium chloride and why?

Sodium fluoride would not produce the same color as sodium chloride. This is because the color of a compound is determined by its chemical composition and structure, and sodium fluoride and sodium chloride have different structures which result in different colors.


Is there chlorine in salt?

No, chlorine is a chemical element found in the periodic table, and salt is a compound composed of sodium and chloride ions. Salt, or sodium chloride, contains chloride ions, which are derived from chlorine atoms, but it is not the same as pure chlorine gas.


Why do dry sodium chloride and solutions of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride all impart the same color in a flame test?

Because the color is due to the sodium. All of them have sodium, all of them give the same color. Technically nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine have spectral lines as well; it's just that sodium's are much more prominent.

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 product of calcium chloride and sodium chloride?

The product of calcium chloride and sodium chloride would be a mixture of the two salts, not a chemical reaction that produces a new compound. Each salt would retain its individual properties and be present in the mixture.


Why does iodized salt grow more crystals than epsom salt?

Sodium chloride (iodized table salt has small amounts of potassium iodide added) is not as soluble as magnesium sulfate (epsom salts). As two solutions with the same concentration cool down the sodium chloride will reach saturation first and produce crystals.
