Chemical properties:
The chemical formula for salt, sodium chloride, is 60.663% elemental chlorine (Cl) and 39.337% sodium (Na). Chlorine’s atomic weight is 35.4527; for sodium, 22.989768

Physcial properties:
Cubic sodium chloride crystals are formed as seawater or saline lake water evaporates or in underground salt formations

Uses:
1. Salt is the feedstock for the chlor-alkali chemical industry
2. Salt brings to food far more than one of the five basic taste sensations (sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami); it enhances other tastes. Sweets taste sweeter. Salt masks bitter tastes, making naturally bitter foods like chocolate and broccoli become delicious.
3. Sensible Salting keeps roads open and safe in winter
4. Livestock, poultry and pets need salt for optimal health and development
5. Softening hard water
