this is a chemical change cause you can't return it back to solid salt

No, dissolving salt is purely physical. Salt isn't changed when the water is evaporated (drying is physical as well)

The way to determine this is by seeing if you can get the original substance back after completing the change. For example, combustion, or the act of burning something, is a chemical change. If you burned a piece of paper, you would get a pile of ash, which is nearly impossible to turn back into a piece of paper. This indicates a chemical change. However, if you dissolve salt in water, it is very easy to get the salt back: just evaporate the water. This indicates a physical change.

Is making salt water to gargle for a sore throat a chemical or physical change?
Yes dissolving salt in water is a physical change. The chemical structure was not changed, no chemical reaction took place, no precipitate formed and so on.The best way to tell the difference between a chemical and physical change is the ability to change the substances back to the way they were.Salt can be removed from water through evaporation of the water leaving both substances chemically the same before the salt was added.However there is some debate upon this. Just go with whatever your teacher says.
Is salting the ice on the sidewalk a chemical change?
Yes. The melting point of salt solutions is lower than that of pure water.
Is table salt boiling a physical or chemical change?
Physical. It would seem logical to assume that this is a chemical change but since neither the composition of salt (generally NaCl [sodium chloride] in this case) nor the composition of water changes, it is actually a physical change rather than a chemical change.There are 4 ways to indicate if a chemical change has occurred:1. There is a temperature change (endothermic = cooler, exothermic = warmer).- There would be no significant temperature change in the process of distilling the water independent of applying heat to the substance.2. There is a change in hue (color); this does not include changes in tint (darker to lighter) or saturation (lighter to darker [shade]).- There would be no change in hue of the solution after the distillation of salt water takes place.3. A precipitate was made (solution becomes cloudy), meaning a solid was made.- The solution does not become cloudy, meaning no solid was created (all components involved are soluble).4. A gas was formed, which is indicated by the formation of bubbles independent of the influences of stirring (bubbles rising occurs persistently after a few minutes or so).- No gas is formed in the process of distilling the salt water.
What is dissolving salt into water an example of?
No, this is not a redox reaction (or a chemical reaction at all) because no species gain/lose electrons in this process.
Is mixing salt and sugar a physial change?
No, mixing sugar and chocolate is not a chemical change. It's a physical change.
Is dissolving salt in water a physical or chemical change?
Dissolving salt in water is a physical change- no chemical reaction took place. If the water evaporates, the salt is still there.
Is mostly likely a chemical change salt dissolving in water or a match burning?
A match burning is a chemical change. Salt dissolving in water is a physical change.
Is salt dissolving in water physical change?
It is a physical change. If it was a chemical change you would probably see fizzing. stefan boniaby
Is disslolving salt a chemical change?
Dissolving in water is a physical change.
Is salt dissolving in a glass of water a chemical change?
No. It is a physical change.
Is dissolving common salt in water physical or chemical change?
Dissolving is a physical process.
Is combining water and salt physical or chemical change?
Dissolving in water is a physical change.
Salt dissoved in water physical or chemical change?
Dissolving in water is a physical change.
When Salt dissolving water physical change or chemical change?
It is a physical change because the chemical composition of salt and water do not change. You can separate the salt and water physically by allowing the water to evaporate, which leaves the salt.
Is dissolving salt in water chemical or physical change?
Dissolving salt in water is an example of a physical change. Although the ions of sodium and chlorine separate when the salt dissolves, no chemical reaction takes place.
Is dissolving Skittles in salt and water a chemical or physical change?
