Answer is: No. Salt, like all matter is composed of atoms.

For example, table salt is sodium chloride mixed with small amount of potassium iodide (KI), sodium iodide (NaI) or sodium iodate (NaIO₃).

Atomic level - sodium chloride (NaCl) has crystal cubic structure (lattice-type arrangement) with ionic bonds. Sodium is cation with charge 1+ and chlorine is an anion with charge 1-.

Macroscopic level - table salt is colorless crystal, soluble in water with high melting and boiling temperature.

Assume that coal can be represented by the chemical formula C135H96O9NS. If 4.0 tons of coal is burned, what mass of nitrogen is
Schach [20]

Answer:

0.02 tons of NO produced when 4 tons of coal is burned

Explanation:

From the given,

Chemical formula of coal =  C_{134}H_{96}O_{9}NS

Molecular mass of coal = (134\times12)+(9\times1)+(9\times16)+14+32\,=1906.1gm

Let’s calculate the mass of nitrogen in coal

Percentage\,weight\,of\,nitrogen=\frac{Mass\,of\,nitrogen}{Molecular\,mass\,of coal}

Percentage\,weight/,of/,nitrogen=\frac{14}{1906.1}=0.73%

Amount of coal burnt = 4tons

Amount of NO produced by burning 4tons = 4\,tons\,of\,coal\times \frac{0.73tons}{100\,tons\,of\,coal}=0.0292\,tons

This nitrogen is converted into NO by reacting with atmospheric oxygen.
