Simple salt, also known as table salt, is a chemical compound made up of two elements: sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl). It is commonly used as a seasoning and preservative in food.
Simple salt is most commonly produced through the evaporation of seawater or the mining of underground salt deposits. It can also be produced through chemical reactions, such as combining sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid.
The chemical formula for simple salt is NaCl, which represents one atom of sodium and one atom of chlorine bound together in a 1:1 ratio.
Simple salt has a white crystalline appearance, is odorless, and has a salty taste. It is highly soluble in water and has a high melting point of 801 °C. Chemically, it is a neutral compound and does not react with most other substances.
Simple salt has many uses in everyday life, such as a seasoning for food, a preservative for food and beverages, a de-icer for roads, and a water softener. It is also used in the production of chemicals, plastics, and paper.
