Question

food must have limited amount of salts

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Foods must have limited amount of salt because too much salt in food can lead to hypertension or High blood pressure which may be fatal.

Explanation:

Food must have a limited amount of salts as we require limited amounts of these in our body. Excessive salts in food can lead to an accumulation of water in different parts of the body such as arms, legs etc. and lead to edema. Too much salt leads to an increase in the blood pressure as well.

Note: Hydrochloric acid is used to get chloride salt. It is a strong acid as it is completely dissociated in water. Therefore, it is used to prepare salts containing the Cl– anion called chlorides.
