What household prouducts are made of elements (salt=sodium)?

Question

need for school project!thanks!

Answer 1

Everything is made up of elements.  If you mean, what household products contain sodium, there are many:  table salt (NaCl) , baking soda (sodium bicarbonate NaHCO3), bleach (sodium hypochlorite NaOCl), monosodium glutamate,

used to enhance flavor.  Don't ask me for the formula.  I'd have to look it up.

Answer 2

Everything is made of elements!

Some of the simpler ones in the household could be vinegar, water, salt, baking soda, sugar, starch, charcoal...

Answer 3

The short answer is "all of them".   All the matter we know of, in household products and in the entire universe is made of elements and combinations of elements (i.e. atoms).  There is scientific interest in things like anti-matter and dark matter which may or may not be elements as we know them but let's not bother with these exotic exceptions for now.

Very few materials found in your home are "pure" elements.  Tablesalt is NaCl, so it is half Na atoms and half Cl atoms (or it would be if it was 100% pure salt).  In fact, table salt is not 100% pure, I don't know exactly but I would guess it is probably not more than 97% pure.  Iodized salt has I atoms added intentionally.  If it is sea salt, it is NaCl with MgCl among many other impurities.

The highest purity (in terms of pure elements) in your home is probably Cu in some of the electric appliance wiring.  Cu is a very good conductor of electricity but alloying Cu with other elements makes the conductivity worse.  In normal house wiring the Cu is probably a Cu alloy with P added.  Some applications want better conductivity so OFHC (oxygen free high conductivity) Cu is used and it is about 99.99% pure Cu.

I hope this helps.

Answer 4

ammonia cleaner contains ammonium

water contains hydrogen and oxygen

Answer 5

what sort of products do you mean? if it can be anything, then table salt, the kind you put on french fries, is sodium chloride.
