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
There is no reason to assume that it would harm you. That sodium chloride disassociates in water has nothing to really do with your question.
In large quantities salt water is bad for you. It will increase your blood pressure and cause loose stools by causing water to be pulled into your intestines.
In small quantities it will not have a noticeable effect.
Both changes are temporary and quantity dependant.
