What is the chemical name of common salt that we eat

  • A.Sodium bicarbonate
  • B.Sodium chloride
  • C.Sodium salicylate
  • D.Sodium hydroxide

Answer: B

Common salt is Sodium chloride, NaCl.

Table salt is mainly sodium chloride, obtained by evaporating sea water or mining rock salt. It is often iodised by adding a little potassium iodide or iodate.

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is baking soda. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is caustic soda, a strong alkali. Sodium salicylate is a salt of salicylic acid used as a painkiller. None of them is eaten as salt.
