Since salt undergoes a chemical change causing it to become Na(aq)+ and Cl(aq)- why does drinking aqueous Sodium and Chlorine not harm you?
In: Chemistry
Drinking salt water will definitely harm you, if you drink enough.
The body has filtering mechanisms that can remove excess ions, Na+, CL-, and many others. These mechanisms work best for limited amounts of these ions in the presence of lots of water. Move outside these limits and many harms will happen.
