im afraid not...my guess is that it was maybe a little posionous

[galdorpheonix]

No, Salt is a compound of Sodium chloride. Oh and Sodium hypochlorite is also a compound and yes it can be dangerous if over used, such as using soo much of it in your Swimming pool.

So if I put salt in my washing powder chlorine. I should expect some burnt clothes. Btw its funny one of the powders is sodium hypochlorite since that's admitting its already mixing in sodium & chlorine together maybe that's why its dangerous to clothes. It doesn't burn them though, only whitens them where it shouldn't. I won't use that washing powder again.

Nope, normal table salt is NaCl iodized.

Well why eat the salt if you can buy salt from a store. You see the difference between this sodium chloride and the one you buy in the store is that the one that is made here is made NaCl in the reaction, of course as you said its with the other compound also, but the table salt we eat is also iodized are prepared .

[nitrex]

No the reaction was Sodium plus chlorine.

[nitrex]

No why use the salt? You don't use pure made Sodium chloride, they make them in the store and they are specially prepared. They are also Iodized.

this reacted with no water ! maybe because of the metal part of sodium?
