Unless the food coloring has some active ingredient, it will not affect the salt water chemically.

In the environment, adding excessive food coloring to water may reduce the amount of light available to plants living in the water. Otherwise the coloring itself is innocuous.

Is salt and water a mixture soulution or both?

Salt and water is a mixture. In a mixture you can mix them together then take them apart. When you put salt in water the salt does not dissolve therefore it is a mixture. If salt dissolved in water it would then be a solution,but salt does not dissolve in water so it is a mixture.Salt does dissolve in water to form a solution, which is a mixture. If a chemical that was insoluble in water was added to water, a mixture would also be formed. Slaf can be separated from water by evaporation and crystallisation, the undissolved chemical by filtration.


How do you find out if your soil is contaminated by a saltwater pool?

The best way would be to put a shovel full of dirt in a bucket of clean water ant have the water tested for salt content, However the concentration of salt in a salt water pool is very low and would be unlikely to cause any problems to the surounding soil .Most chlorine generators require a salt content of between 2,500 to 6,000 parts permilion of salt to water. human tears contain about 9000 ppm. once you have more then 1000 ppm of dissolved salts in water it is saline; ocean water contains about 35,000 ppm of salt.
