Explanation:
Sodium chloride (NaCl), commonly known as salt, is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth and an essential nutrient for many animals and plants. It is naturally found in seawater and in underground rock formations.
Magnesium chloride is the name for the chemical compound with the formula MgCl₂ and its various hydrates MgCl₂ₓ. Anhydrous MgCl₂ contains 25.5% elemental magnesium by mass. These salts are typical ionic halides, being highly soluble in water. The hydrated magnesium chloride can be extracted from brine or sea water.
