it is held together by a ionic bond NaCl. A sodium atom easily loses its one valence electron and becomes a sodium ion (Na+) A chlorine atom easily gains an electron and becomes a chloride ion(Cl-) In a salt crystal, there are trillions of sodium and chloride ions. These oppositely charged ions is an ionic bond.
Easier to say, by opposite charges.
What else can I help you with?
Does Iodized salt raise water density more than table salt?
It's hard to tell. Almost all table salt sold in the US is iodized.
What is the average cost for table salt in a year?
If a person was following the daily recommended allowance for sodium and he/she received all their sodium from table salt, they would take 4000 mg (4 grams) per day, which is equivalent to 1600 mg of sodium. So table salt, sodium chloride, requirement for 1 year would be 4 grams x 365 days = 1460 grams of salt. In the United States, salt is sold by the pound (which weighs 454 grams). So, in a year, a person would need 3.22 pounds of salt, which costs about 85 cents per pound, so the total in salt would be $2.73 US. Most of the sodium we eat is not from salt but is already in the food, so this answer could vary greatly depending on your diet.
Where are salt mines in the Us?
Some of the major salt mines in the US are located in states such as Louisiana, New York, and Kansas. The Detroit Salt Mine in Michigan is one of the largest salt mines in the country. Other notable salt mines are located in Texas, California, and Ohio.
Is a special form of oxygen?
Ozone is a form of oxygen with three oxygen atoms bonded together (O3), whereas regular oxygen in the atmosphere consists of two oxygen atoms bonded together (O2). Ozone is a reactive gas that plays a vital role in the Earth's atmosphere, protecting us from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation.
How do you find a compound?
All around us. The requirement is that is made from 2 or more elements. Two household examples are water (H2O) and table salt (NaCl)
Is sea salt better for us?
It is better, in moderation, than table salt.
What does the formula for table salt indicate about that copound?
The formula for table salt is NaCl. This tells us that it is an ionic compound. Meaning the molecule is held together by electrostatic attraction between the atoms. It also indicates salt will form an ionic lattice and when dissolved in a solvent it will separate into Cl- and Na+ Ions
Does Iodized salt raise water density more than table salt?
It's hard to tell. Almost all table salt sold in the US is iodized.
How many cups of salt in a pound?
1 pound of table salt, with a density of 1.02 g/mL, will equal about 1.88 US cups.
How mush is one pound of salt?
1 pound of table salt, with a density of 1.02 g/mL, will equal about 1.88 US cups.
How many grams of salt are in a teaspoon?
4.2 ----------------------------------------------------- The US teaspoon as a unit of volume has approx. 5 mL. After "Bulk density chart" the density of fine table salt is 1,378 g/cm3. So the mass of table salt in a teaspoon is 6,8 g.
Approximate value of NaCl?
This depends on the country, foods store, type of salt; in Romania the price of 1 kg fine iodised table salt is approx. 0,3 US $.
How much does 60 pounds of sugar cost?
in the US table salt should be around 30 $ but it varies from place to place
Why do doctors recommended that some people use low sodium salt instead of table salt?
it is because doctors is thinking something which is completly oposite from us? i dont know!! sorry
Does sea salt contain less sodium than regular table salt?
No. Salt IS sodium chloride. Sea salt is just more natural than your everyday table salt. There are those who would have us believe that Gourmet Salt (Sea Salt) contains less sodium than table salt because it is coarser. The truth of the matter is that Salt is Salt, whether it is Sea salt or table salt. All salt came from the Sea originally. Salt that is used commonly for table salt is mined. That salt was formed from Oceans that went dry and left deposits in the earth. A molecule of salt contains one part sodium and one part chlorine. (Chemically, NaCL). No matter how much you want to believe it, salt is salt and it cannot contain LESS sodium. If the chemical equation was Na2Cl rather than NaCl, I suppose it is possible to chemically take one molecule of sodium away, leaving NaCl. But that is not the case. The salt molecule is NaCl. Sodium has a valence (free electron) of +1 and Chlorine has a valence of -1. When the two elements combine they form NaCl (salt). So salt cannot possibly contain LESS sodium. That being said, sea salt is not JUST salt, it has some trace minerals and elements depending on its water source, so by weight, it has slightly less sodium than table salt (less than a tenth of a percent less).
Is goiter contageous?
No. Goiter is the result of insufficient intake of iodine, which regulate the thyroid gland, which then swells, and is called a goiter. This is the reason that table salt has been required for decades to have a small amount of iodine in it . . . this is the best way for the most number of US citizens to avoid goiter. Look at a box of table salt . . . it says "Iodized". (Pure salt is available for use in pickling and in aquariums)
How much is 40 grams of Epsom's salt in us tablespoons?
Forty grams of Epsom salt is approximately 2.7 tablespoons. Since Epsom salt has a density similar to table salt, a general conversion is that 1 tablespoon of Epsom salt weighs about 15 grams. Therefore, you can estimate the conversion by dividing the total grams by the grams per tablespoon.
