Is salt water salt the salt you use?

In: Science, Chemistry [Edit categories]

Answer:

Table salt is Sodium Chloride (NaCl), and while NaCl is found in salt water, there are many other salts and minerals found in it also. While some people do use actual sea salt, or sometimes just things marketed as sea salt, the stuff we put on the table is generally mined. If you have ever been swimming at the beach, and got some sea water in your mouth, you would know it does not taste real nice.
