The presence of salt that is sodium chloride cannot be tested at once. Two different tests are performed to show the presence of both sodium and chloride.

To test for the chloride ion:

Add few drops of aqueous solution of silver nitrate to aqueous solution of sodium chloride, white precipitate is seen which cannot dissolve in cold water and dilute nitric acid. This precipitate formed is soluble in solution of ammonium hydroxide to give a colorless diamine silver chloride solution.

To test for the sodium ion:  Use a flame test.

Dip a wire of platinum in concentrated hydrochloric solution and hold it in the  flame of the Bunsen burner until the flame no longer changes its color. Again dip the wire in hydrochloric solution and rub some sodium chloride on the wire and put it again in the burner, an intense yellow to orange color forms that shows the presence of sodium ion.

If the substance passes both the tests in the given way then it is salt (sodium chloride)

Why is exposure more harmful to the fetus than mother
Temka [501]

Answer:The mother's antibodies can destroy the red blood cells of the fetus.

Explanation:

If a woman with an Rh negative (Rh-) blood group has a child with an Rh positive (Rh +) male, there is a possibility that the child is also Rh +. Although this has no consequences throughout pregnancy itself, as the mother's and fetus's blood does not come into direct contact during pregnancy, it can have serious consequences for subsequent pregnancies.

In fact, rupture of the placenta at the time of childbirth may allow some red blood cells from the fetus to pass into the maternal circulation and cause sensitization, meaning the woman's body will detect them and begin to make anti-human antibodies. Rh that will persist indefinitely in the blood. If a woman regenerates another Rh + child, the anti-Rh antibodies present in her blood will pass easily into the fetus's blood through the placenta and attack and destroy the fetus' red blood cells, which can lead to severe fetal anemia and serious repercussions that sometimes lead to intrauterine death.
