Salt is sodium cholride, NaCl. It is not acidic in the slightest sense. Yes it is a mineral.

Yes, it is. Or, to be specific, salts in general are minerals. But since you used the singular, I assume you mean table salt, sodium chloride. It can be formed by geological processes and left in crystalline form through evaporation, and then can be mined. So it is a mineral.

If you're referring to salt as sodium chloride (there are many salts- the common table salt is sodium chloride, of course), the mineral form is referred to as halite. See the Wikipedia entry for more information (reference 1).

Of course, its chemical symbol is NaCl
Easy to think about.
