This document provides information about 6 chemical salts including their name, chemical formula, and common uses. The salts described are: Table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) which is used for freezing mixtures and as a preservative. Sylvine/Muriate of Potash (potassium chloride, KCl) which is used as a medicine for blood pressure and in freezing mixtures. Blue vitriol (copper sulfate, CuSO4·5H2O) which is used as a fungicide and to purify copper. Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3) which is used in baking and to make small fire extinguishers.
