Saltpeter is the common name used for several different chemical compounds, specifically for potassium nitrate and sodium nitrate. Potassium nitrate is commonly used in gunpowder, and sodium nitrate is found in fertilizers and explosives.
Chemically, it is known as sodium chloride (NaCl), the combination of one sodium ion and one chloride ion. Salt is 40% sodium and 60% chloride by weight. Salt enhances the flavor of food, preserves food, helps to regulate and control normal body functions, and acts as a building block for more complex chemicals.
