Question


Why does table salt become sticky during the rainy season?


Open in App
Solution

Table salt becomes sticky on exposure during the rainy season because table salt generally contains a small percentage of Magnesium chloride, as an impurity. Since these impurities absorb moisture from the air due to their deliquescent nature; therefore it gets wet in the rainy season and becomes sticky.
