what is the table salt? sea salt or rock salt or chemical?

Answer 1

mined salt, not from the sea.

Answer 2

Sodium chloride is sold in several different particle sizes (gradation) and forms, depending on the intended end use. Discrete crystals can be seen in rock salt used for deicing. Fine granules are typical of table salt and even finer popcorn salt. Kosher salt, pickling salt and ice cream salt are slightly coarser. Small compressed pellets are used in water softeners and large salt blocks are used as salt licks for livestock. When viewed under strong magnification, all sodium chloride is crystalline. Very large cubic crystals, of two, three or more inches in size, can be seen in some salt mines. They are transparent and cleave into perfect cubes when struck with a hard object.

Answer 3

Rock salt is used on sidewalks and driveways to prevent ice and cause it to melt. Sea salt can be used as a table salt and some say it is healthier than regular table salt. I use sea salt cooking- you need less because it is stronger than regular iodized salt.

Answer 4

These salts are all NaCl but sea salt has impurities from the sea and rock salt is big pieces of table salt.

Answer 5

I agree with the first answer that table salt is mined AND it is NaCl in it's natural state. It is also iodised (addition of I-) because the standard diet these days doesn't contain enough iodine, to prevent lots of people walking around with goiters (large swelling at the base of the chin)

Answer 6

Plain old table salt is NaCl-a chemical compound.

Answer 7

It's just regular salt..

If you eat a plain sodium tablet, your stomach will blow up.. If you drink chlorine your breath will stink like a swimming pool..

therefore it is good to mix the Na and Cl before consumption

Answer 8

table salt is sodium chloride and Chlorine both are dangerous elements by themselves but when the combine to make table salt the are harmless

Answer 9

I'll take door number 2......
