Furthermore, all 6 properties tested further solidified suspicions of the identity of the salt. Salt #287’s properties were initially investigated through a lab test to determine if the salt was Hygroscopic, Deliquescent, Efflorescent or none, and when the salt was left to react with the environment, it was found that the mass of the salt did not change from the initial mass over a course of 15 minutes, which would indicate the salt does not absorb water or lose water and does not have the above properties. Results found in this test are consistent with known properties of Sodium Chloride, being that it is not Hygroscopic, Efflorescent or Deliquescent. Thus, based on this experiment solely, it is not ensured that the salt is Sodium Chloride as 3 other salts share this…
