How is salt made out og?

Answer 1

Salt is formed from sodium and chlorine.

At this point one would normally expect to see, "reacting sodium metal with chlorine will produce salt" or "reacting sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid then boiling off the water will produce salt." While true both are pointless. Any reaction that will produce salt is very expensive and very dangerous, and salt from natural sources is extremely cheap - any supermarket has it for less than $1 per pound. If you need salt, it's safer and less expensive to buy it than to make it.

Answer 2

Salt is typically made by evaporating seawater or brine (water saturated with salt). The salt is left behind as the water evaporates, and it can then be harvested and processed into different forms, such as table salt or sea salt. Other methods include mining salt deposits from underground mines or extracting salt from salt flats.
