9.6: Storing Salt
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Salt is very stable and does not spoil under ordinary conditions. However, it may have a slight tendency to absorb moisture and become somewhat lumpy and hard. Therefore, it is advisable to store it in a clean, cool, and dry place. Inasmuch as salt can absorb odors, the storage room should be free from any odor that might be taken up and carried by the salt.
