Antwoorde op die Sulfaat in sout wat ek gekoop het.
Volgens inligting is Magnesium- en Kalsiumsulfaat goed vir die visse en kom dit baie voor in viskos:
Natural salts always contain other substances dissolved along with salt. The most' common of these are magnesium chloride, magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, potassium chloride, magnesium bromide, and calcium carbonate. These substances may be as commercially valuable as the salt itself. Rock salt may be quite pure, or it may contain various amounts of these substances along with rocky impurities such as shale and quartz.
Colour
Salts can be clear and transparent ( sodium chloride), opaque ( titanium dioxide), and even metallic and lustrous (iron disulfide).
Salts exist in all different colors, e.g. yellow (sodium chromate), orange ( potassium dichromate), red ( mercury sulfide), mauve ( cobalt chloride hexahydrate), blue ( copper sulfate pentahydrate, ferric hexacyanoferrate), green ( nickel oxide), colorless ( magnesium sulfate), white ( titanium dioxide), and black ( manganese dioxide). Most minerals and inorganic pigments as well as many synthetic organic dyes are salts.
Taste
Different salts can elicit all five basic tastes, e.g. salty ( sodium chloride), sweet ( lead diacetate ), sour ( potassium bitartrate), bitter ( magnesium sulfate), and umami or savory ( monosodium glutamate).
Odour
Pure salts are non- volatile and odorless, while impure salts may smell after the conjugate acid (e.g. acetates like acetic acid ( vinegar) and cyanides like hydrogen cyanide (almonds) or the conjugate base (e.g. ammonium salts like ammonia) of the component ions.
Chemical composition of sea salt
The name of a salt starts with the name of the cation (e.g. sodium or ammonium) followed by the name of the anion (e.g. chloride or acetate). Salts are often referred to only by the name of the cation (e.g. sodium salt or ammonium salt) or by the name of the anion (e.g. chloride or acetate).
Common salt-forming cations include:
• ammonium NH4+
• calcium Ca2+
• iron Fe2+ and Fe 3+
• magnesium Mg2+
• potassium K+
• pyridinium C5H5NH+
• quaternary ammonium NR4+
• sodium Na+
Common salt-forming anions (and the name of the parent acids in parentheses) include:
• acetate CH3COO− (acetic acid)
• carbonate CO32− ( carbonic acid)
• chloride Cl− (hydrochloric acid)
• citrate HOC(COO−)(CH2COO−)2 ( citric acid)
• cyanide C≡N− ( hydrogen cyanide)
• hydroxide OH− ( water)
• nitrate NO3− ( nitric acid)
• nitrite NO2− ( nitrous acid)
• oxide O2− ( water)
• phosphate PO43− ( phosphoric acid)
• sulfate SO42− (sulfuric acid)
