okay u chelsea brace urselve....here it comes *** U! okay dont get smart with me becuse out of all the other answers u were wrong!

Answer 1

NaCl is just what we call "salt". Rock salt is the same as table salt, just larger crystals. I think of it as used to make ice cream and to sprinkle on roads and drive ways when they are icey. Salt keeps water from freezing and allows water to get colder before it turns to ice.

Good question.

Answer 2

4 steps 1. Grind rock salt 2. Dissolve salt from mixture 3. Filter 4. Evaporate water from filtrate to get pure (ish) salt

Answer 3

large deposit of salt minerals

Original salt that has not yet obtained a crystalline ctructure. The minerals in the stone salt are too coarse to enter our cells.


A salt derived from the seams of compacted underground sources

Sodium chloride, also known as common salt, table salt, or halite, is a chemical compound with formula NaCl.Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the ocean and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. It is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative

Answer 4

Rock Salt is the kind that is mined and not filtered from sea water, yes "Mined" ancient seas which are now well below ground have evaporated many thousand years ago and left a sediment of salt, which combined with other minerals has a completely different taste, Was that any good to you

Answer 5

rock salt is created in salt beds - or lakes. The salt water is evaporated, forming large crystals of NaCl, or Sodium Chloride. They are then harvested. The salt typical of table salt is treated with iodine. Rock salt is not treated, and it isn't ground down like table salt. It is typically used to super-chill ice for making ice cream. Also used to hold oysters on a plate for ousters on the half-shell.

Answer 9

Rock salt is the common name for the mineral "halite". Its chemical formula is NaCl. You might know this substance as table salt. and... Actually, rock salt is not K2SO4; it is NaCl. It can have impurities of gypsum (CaSO4) and sylvite (KCl) but it is very rare to find potassium sulfate as a mineral, although occasionally polyhalite (K2Ca2Mg(SO4)4.2H2O) is found associated with rock salt deposits.

Answer 10

Rock salt (halite) is the big crystal stuff like you put on icy driveways in the winter, but it's also used in homemade ice creams and things of that nature.
