How was sodium chloride discovered?

Sodium chloride is a natural product, known also by animals. Any discoverer.

Is sodium chloride good for the body?

In our body, we have two compartments. One is extra cellular and another is intro cellular. Extra cellular makes 20 % of body weight ( 14 liter in average man of 70 kg.) Intro cellular compartment makes 40 % of body weight (28 liter in average man of 70 kg.) Sodium chloride is important constituent of extra cellular compartment.( It's 0.9 % or 0.150 mole) and potassium chloride is about same in intro cellular compartment. Out of 14 liter 3 liter is in intro vascular compartment ( In the blood ) and 11 liter in so called Interstitial compartment. (It seems that, life has originated in sea and we have carried that part of sea with us via extra cellular compartment. )

Salt in sea water?

No. Two TOTALLY different things

Sea salt is just what it sounds like and that is salt taken from the sea. Beds are made and the water is allowed to naturally evaporate leaving behind the salt. It is then cut up into blocks and sold as "sea salt". There are different types and colors of sea salt. There is a French type that is gray and one Russian that is black. Sea salt can also be bought as salt crystals, coarse, or fine grains. No processing is done to the salt other than it drying out from the sea.

Table salt comes from salt mines and is processed. When it is mined it has to go through a bleaching process to make it white and other chemicals are used to process it. One of the largest salt mines in the world is located in Poland. This mine is several stories high and has a church, hospital, and hotel in it. Salt mines can be centuries old and were used by ancient people.

Salt through the centuries has been considered to be valuable. In the middle ages it was so rare that it was kept only for royals and upper class. The salt was stored in little boxes called "salt cellars" and only used at the table of kings and queens. This is where the term "below the salt" comes from referring to those who didn't have salt at their table and who were "commoners."

How can you tell HCl and NaCl apart?
