Hot water will hold more salt than cold water, because solubility of solids is proportional to temperature. That is, it increases with temperature.

It is more soluble in hot water than cold, because in hot water, the water particles have more energy to move, making bigger gaps between the paricles and allowing more salt to be dissolved.

Does purified or tap water hold more salt?

It all depends on what you mean. Tap water has more salt than purified water but purified water can hold more salt if salt is added. There is more room, so to speak, for the salt ions to fit into a container.


Which dissolves more salt-lukewarm or cold water?

Luke warm water will dissolve more salt than cold water. The general rule is that the higher the temperature of the solvent, the more solute that can be dissolve in it.

What are the four things that affect ocean's salinity?

Salinity is affected by temperature of the water, amount of salt per area, how cool it is, and the amount of water per area. If it's hot, the water will evaporate leaving more salt behind. The more salt you add, of course you will have a higher salinity. If it is cold, ice forms and pushes out the salt into the water below. And if you add more water, there will be more water to hold the salt, thus lowering the salinity.
