Guest guest Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 Salt after all is a very common earth ingredient being composed of two common earth elements, sodium and chlorine. Sodium is an unstable metal that readily combines with poisonous chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride (NaCl) which everyone knows as common table salt. Reportedly it has over 14,000 uses but I suspect that number to be far lower than reality. Up until 100 years ago, salt was a medium of exchange even being used as a substitute for money. Historically salt was one of the most sought after commodities in history. http://www.cce.cornell.edu/counties/yates/salt.htm ===== [...there'll be love and laughter, and peace ever after, just you wait and see... ---Vera Lynn] Celebrate 's 10th Birthday!
