It won't do anything. If you want to do something exciting with salt, connect an aqeuous salt solution to a battery, collect the O2 and H2 generated at the oxidizing *anode, positive) and reduding (cathode, negative) terminals. The H2 gas will burn explosively if one introduces a flame or merely a sufficiently hot filament to it.
@ClanNaFiacaillApWythe exactly how is she supposed to collect gas from a solution using a battery - wow a whole thimble full -

She could barely pour salt in a bowl - lol

PS - Dont pour salt in a bowl/

@MarmeeMarch Alright. I will tell how it is done. One needs a glass or bowl made of inert material (other ceramic or even metal as long as proper electrical insulation is provided where needed)in which the electrical fittings are placed at terminals close enough together to generate a current. One can even use plastic droppers around the battery leads to collect the gas. These are then connected to glass or polyethylene tubing. I can do this sort of thing. I can and have made a variety of pyrotechnic mixtures as well. Note that the high test hyhpochlorite of pool chlorine (and chlorox even) in readily disassociating into Cl- and Clo3- can be used to supply a strong oxidizing agent.
@ClanNaFiacaillApWythe You have no idea what you are talking about and what you are doing - other than showing off a basic kids experiment with an electrolyte.

@MarmeeMarch Am not concerned with what you have to say.
Have a BA and MS in physics and an MS in electrical engineering. I also earned 2 A-'s and an A in organic chemistry lecture classes. How about you go to hell. I call you out in a fight. Have u been in a fight. Have a boot to the head. Try gargling with your broken teeth, asshole.

@MarmeeMarch I met a great many people like you in grade school and junior high. You have to be dealt with with violence. I have been suspended for doing just that. Just be thankful that the law protects you. How tall are u and how much do you weigh?

@MarmeeMarch Why would I want to accept anything from you? You made an enemy of me immediately and I hate your guts. Just be thankful the law protects you from getting the beating you have so richly deserved for many years just for being the rather boring abhorrent abomination, and utter waste of materials that went into making the piece of absolute scum that is you.

Alright. Well, that is enough.
@ClanNaFiacaillApWythe OK just calm down - I dont know what else to say.. But alright
Feel free to keep the gift - you didnt have any so I wanted to start you off with one. You can delete it if you want -

@MarmeeMarch I will keep it. I generally don't accept the first apology. I will accept an effort to be conciliatory after that.
