Sodium salts

Sodium salts are chemical compounds formed when sodium combines with other elements or molecules. They are common in nature and industry, including table salt (sodium chloride). These salts are important in regulating body functions, maintaining fluid balance, and transmitting nerve signals. In food, they enhance flavor and preservation. Chemically, sodium salts are often water-soluble, meaning they dissolve easily in water, which makes them useful in various applications such as pharmaceuticals, cleaning products, and food processing. Their properties depend on the specific compound they form with other elements or molecules, influencing their function and use.
