    		Table salt is mostly sodium chloride, but it usually has anti-caking agents added.

    		To all intents and purposes, yes.

    There are very slight variations depending on where the salt is mined/farmed.

    		Don't forget that most table salt is also "iodised" (a minute amount of iodine added)- for very good health reasons! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iodised_salt

    I have a container which originally held 500 grams of what the label claims to be "finest table salt" - pretty much pure sodium chloride. Yet, out of every 100 grams in the container, only 39 grams are sodium. Since a molecule of table salt is made up of an equal number of sodium and chlorine atoms, this leads me to believe that chlorine is a much heavier element than sodium. Is that really true?

    What is another name for sodium chloride?

    How would you classify each of the following, as a pure substance or a mixture: soapy water, hydrogen gas, and sodium chloride?

    Salt is a crystal compounded of Sodium and Chlorine, and while it has the power to create life, it also ends it. What do you know about Adam Roberts' book about religion, government, beliefs, ethics, and most importantly, salt? Good luck!
