Salt particles are smaller than water particles. Salt contains one part each of sodium and chloride. Water contains three parts, 2 parts hydrogen, and 1 part oxygen.

Salt in solution consiste of Na+ and Cl-. Na + has a radius of 116pm, Cl- 167 pm

A water molecule is approx. 275 pm in "diameter" so water is bigger.

A pouch with a selectively permeable membrane conting a salt soluction is immersed in a dish of fresh water which way will the water move into the pouch or out of the pouch?

the water will flow in because the molecules in the pouch cannot flow out and the water particles will be able to flow in because they are smaller than the salt particles.

Will sugar dissolve quicker than salt in water than in vinegar?

yes,because sugars particles are smaller so it is easier to break down wspecially with the vinegar acid.


What holds heat longer salt water or fresh water?

Salt Water, do to its small salt particles which not only the water holds the heat ,but the salt particles TOO!!! Most brines for heat transfer systems are very heavily salted solutions to the point where there is more salt than water [by weight] in them.

Why does saturating warm water with salt take faster than saturating regular water with salt?

Think about the particles. When you heat something up, the particles move around more. In this case, because the water particles are moving around more, they collide with the salt particles more often, and with greater force, thus speeding up the breaking up of the salt.

Use the particle theory of matter to explain why table salt dissolves more rapidly than rock salt?

Table salt is made up of smaller clumps of particles than rock salt. To dissolve, particles of the salt must come in contact with the solvent particles than rock salt, resulting in faster dissolving. (Copied from the Pure Substance & Mixtures Section of some Nelson Literacy Science Text Book) :)

Why does table salt dissolve rapidly in water?

Because the crystals of the table salt are smaller and the speed of solving depend on the surface area of the material (smaller crystals mean a greatest surface area); dissolution takes place at the surface of the solid.
