There are two types of salt used in Cooking, Rock Salt and Sea Salt. Rock salt is mined from veins in high Sodium areas of mountains which were formed over many years. The ancient Romans used salt mines and had prisoners do the mining since it was very dangerous work to one's health. Sea Salt is gathered by dehydrating salty areas on the coast of the Atlantic. The top layer of salt is refered to as Fleur de Sel and the next layer under is refered to as Sel Gris or Grey salt. Grey Salt has a higher level of minerals and in my opinion is the best to use in cooking.

How could you show that water is given off when epsom salts are heated?

When epsom salts are heated, water vapor is produced as a byproduct. This can be shown by heating epsom salts in a test tube and collecting the water vapor produced in a cooled condenser, where it will condense back into liquid water. The presence of liquid water in the condenser confirms that water is given off during the heating of epsom salts.

What colours do metal salts produced when heated?

Metal salts produced when heated can display a variety of colors, which are often characteristic of the specific metal ion present. For example, copper salts can produce blue or green colors, while potassium salts may yield purple or lilac hues. The color observed is due to the absorption of specific wavelengths of light by the metal ions in their heated state.
