I agree with Yonatan, the video is worth watching. Very entertaining to watch ordinary table salt explode in ordinary water. https://youtu.be/PDRWQUUUCF0

Pouring Molten Salt into Water
Table salt (sodium chloride) enters its liquid state at temperatures above 1,400°F. When a crucible of molten salt is poured into a tank of water, it causes an explosion of steam and water. It is thought that the Leidenfrost Effect is partially responsible for this violent physical reaction as the molten salt rapidly boils water in its immediate vicinity.
