Yes, salt does attract water. Water is a polar molecule. Sodium chloride also carries charge on it so it will dissolve in water. "Like dissolves like"

Why water can break down salt crystals?
Because water is polar and can attract salt ions.
What happens to the salt grains as they dissolve in water?
salt grains are groups of oppositely charged ions in a tight solid pattern. When they dissolve the water molecules attract these ions and cause them to separate, becoming a solution.
What are 2 differences between salt water and fresh water?
there is salt in salt water and little salt in fresh water
How much salt water is in salt water taffy?
there is no salt water in the candy "salt water taffy." it is just the name/brand.
What is the solvent in an aqueous solution of salt?
The solvent is water, the solute is salt; solvent and solute form a solution.
Why water can break down salt crystals?
Because water is polar and can attract salt ions.
Can magnets attract through water?
No, water cannot be magnetized. It is not magnetic in the sense that we can use a magnet to attract it.
When Salt dissolves in water what forces or attractions exist to attract them together?
If you are talking about the attraction of water to the ions of the salt, the water is attracted by dipole-dipole interactions.
How is salt separated from salty water?
well salt doesnt separate from water since it only breaks down in water and dissolves. since the polar covalent bonds in water attract the salt molecues, the salt molecuels will combine with the water molecuel of h20.
What are things that attract dragonfly s?
Cheese, salt water, sugar and honey all do it usually.
Does a salt water pool or a chlorinated pool attract more mosquitoes?
stagnet or still water attracts mosquitos weather salt brackish or chlorine Not your pool. A salt water pool IS a chlorinated pool if the system is working properly.
Does salt attract to a magnet?
Salt water be magnetized. The magnetic field on salt water lowers salt ion and colloid hydration and accelerates the crystallization.
What happens to the salt grains as they dissolve in water?
salt grains are groups of oppositely charged ions in a tight solid pattern. When they dissolve the water molecules attract these ions and cause them to separate, becoming a solution.
How does salt and water form using the particle theory?
The particles of salt and the particles of water are both moving very fast. The different particles attract to each other so therefore it forms a solution.
How is salt used in cloud-seeding?
the use of hygroscopic materials, such as SALT. 1.what is hygroscopic materials? -it is the ability of a substances to attract and hold water molecules from the sourrounding environments.
Does salt dough attract weevils?
yes
How do water molecules dissolve in salt?
The salt molecules are "torn apart" by the water, and are reduced to sodium (Na+) and chlorine (Cl-) ions. It is the ions that go into solution and "float around" there. Note that elemental sodium and elemental chlorine are not what is in solution. The ions are. Salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic molecule; an ionic bond holds salt together.
