It's 94mg of sodium is well within my limit of 1500mg of sodium per day.

This is sodium not salt, remember.

The next thing is sodium chloride.

If I'm on a low sodium diet the amount was about 1500mg of sodium per day.

The SDS part is Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate.

It's an immense amount of sodium, tonnes of sodium and it got me thinking how in the world, and I'm not actually on a low sodium diet, but if I was...

These roasted potatoes get me 7mg of sodium.

And you titrated it with this sodium hydroxide.

So the sodium gives me 40 of 6,000, which when you multiply those two numbers you get 2,400mg of Sodium.

I'm just gonna write that here Low sodium diet .

The cup of noodles is about 1200mg of sodium.

Sodium chloride solid so solid salt, plus liquid water,

I'm going to do it both from a salt perspective and from a sodium perspective. So let's do the sodium perspective first.

I can try to figure out what proportion is from the sodium and what is from the chloride. So, for the first part, which is sodium,

Now, the question comes up how much of that is from sodium?

So now I know, in each teaspoon I have 2,400mg of Sodium.

These are actually polar dipole bonds with the different sodium or chloride ions.

So, to answer that, we know that sodium chloride (NaCl) is table salt.

The large fries with packets of ketchup 5 packets, is about 900mg of sodium.

I love to make apple pie and that gets me about 16mg of sodium.

laced with chemicals, additives, preservatives, artificial flavors, food colorings, sodium, saturated fat, etc, etc.

So, the regular amount of sodium that you should get per day, is about 2,300mg

Keeping in mind how much salt you should be taking if you're on a low sodium diet,

This reaction could only have been triggered by the paper's extreme saturation with distillation of sodium chloride.

leads to sodium well, we could think of it a lot of different ways, but we could think of it as sodium ion aqueous plus chloride anions this is a cation and anion aqueous, so it gets dissolved.

You can see I'm going up up up, so my block of noodles is actually 1600mg of sodium.

But what I'm going to do is I'm going to add a strong base. Let's say sodium hydroxide.

If I'm totaling all of this up, I've got 60 7 11 16. That total comes to... 94mg of sodium.

Remember, hydroxide is a strong base. So the NaOH disassociates completely in an aqueous solution. To OH minus plus sodium cation.

If you have a big block of salt in there, so there's a bunch of sodium and chloride atoms in it.

So the normal amount that you should get, actually let me write 'per day'. Sodium, and over here we'll do salt.

This meal is looking better and better and if I get some asparagus with the mushrooms that's an additional 11mg of sodium, so that's pretty reasonable.

That is what salt is made of, and if I imagine that there's nothing in my salt shaker except for Sodium Chloride, no ants have gotten in there, you know, no other stuff besides the NaCl, then I can assume that all 6,000mg of salt is going to be either from the Sodium or the Chloride.

So, this is chloride right here and this is sodium. If I were to sum it up, I would get 58 units. Units is atomic mass units.

I'm thinking, You don't leave a bunch of plutonium in a pool of liquid sodium underground for an extended period of time that is a bad disposal option.

Now the 'Na', let me be totally clear, is the Sodium part, and the 'Cl' is the Chloride part, that's what that means. And actually all atoms have an atomic mass unit. You can actually weigh the atoms and line them up by size by which is the smallest or largest in weight, and sodium weighs out at about 23 units.

What I thought is, why don't I figure out what kind of food I could actually get? If I was on a low sodium diet, what would make sense?

It's a way to get sodium and glucose together so that when you add it to water the child is able to absorb it even during situations of diarrhea.

So, two words often get thrown around and confused for one another, and I thought we would take a few minutes to clarify the differences between salts and sodium.

The common name for now is the integral fast reactor. If any of you are chemists in here you probably recall sodium has a great infinity for just about everything.

They have one thing that's a roasted salmon this is my salmon. If I eat a roasted salmon with all of oil and chives, the amount of sodium is 60mg.

So in that teaspoon, I can just multiply it by these numbers to figure out how much of the weight comes from sodium and how much comes from the chloride.

If I go through a few foods that'll be fun to figure out how much sodium is in these foods. Let's start out with something I had not too long ago

Then a few months ago they turned it back on and then somebody dropped a crane in liquid sodium and then they shut it off again, so you know everybody has tried the fast breeder reactor.

I can take the 23 units over the 58 unit total, and the units cancel out, and that works out to about 40 . So about 40 of the weight of salt is actually coming from the sodium part
