Yes it does. The water evaporates off leaving salt crystals behind. Depending on how fast you evaporate the water, different sizes of crystals are formed. The slower you evaporate, the larger the crystals.

How can boiling point be used to find out if a substance is pure?
At Boiling Point all the material evaporates leaving no residue which means it is pure. But if it leaves some residue after evaporating at boiling point then it is not pure. For example : If you take an example of pure water & Saline Water then pure water will evaporate at its boiling point leaving nothing after it. But Saline water evaporates leaves salt behind it.
Why do you separate a salt solution using boiling instead of evaporation?
Boiling a salt solution will have the same effect as natural evaporation, but will be much faster. The water will boil off and leave the salt behind.
What happens to salt when the water evaporates?
Salt remain as a residue.
Does salt lower the boiling point?
Yes, Salt also lowers the freezing point of water, and lowers the boiling point of water. Add salt to a boiling pot of water and it immediately boils faster/harder at the location that the Salt hit the water.
Does salt evaporate in boiling water?
The boiling point of salt is much much higher than the boiling point of water. So the salt stays behind while the temperature of the water remains at the boiling point of water.
What is the results of boiling water and salt?
Water is transformed in vapors, salt remain as a solid residue.
Why evaporation is better than boiling to obtain salt from sea water?
If you can evaporate the water to leave the salt residue, you may be expending less energy that if you do that by boiling. This would be especially true if you use natural evaporation from ponds or similar impoundments. Then you are letting the sun do the work for you.
Is salt dissolving in water and leaving a white residue a physical or chemical change?
Salt dissolving in water is a chemical change, the white residue is left when the water gets saturated by the salt and the salt starts to come out of solution to gain equilibrium. The residue can also be left behind when boiling off the water.
How could you find the difference between salt water and pure water without tasting it?
By simply boiling the water, and checking if there is any salt residue.
What will you get if you boil salt water?
If you boil it, the water will evaporate. If you leave it boiling long enough, you should only have salt left.

For example : If you take an example of pure water & Saline Water then pure water will evaporate at its boiling point leaving nothing after it. But Saline water evaporates leaves salt behind it.
What happens when you put salt in boiling water?
The water evaporates and the salt remains in the beakerIt really depends on what you are trying to find out. If you want to know the effect of salt on the boiling point of water, then the answer is that salt water will boil at a higher temperature than pure water. So we can say that salt increases the boiling point of water, which is normally 100 degrees C.If you just want the observations of boiling salt water, then the answer is that as the water is boiling, it evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapour. So we actually lose water from the beaker (or whatever you are boiling the water in) into the air. If you boil it long enough, the water will eventually be lost altogether and you'll be left with dry salt crystals on the bottom and sides of the beaker.
What are two ways that you could tell the difference between pure water and salt water?
Taste Smell Melting Point Boiling Point Density Residue after it evaporates
Should salt be added to water to make it boil fast or leave it out?
Don't add salt. Salt raises the boiling point of water, making it take longer.
Why do you separate a salt solution using boiling instead of evaporation?
Boiling a salt solution will have the same effect as natural evaporation, but will be much faster. The water will boil off and leave the salt behind.
Will salt evaporate in water?
No, salt remain as a residue.
Does the salt in salt water evaporate?
Water is evaporated, salt remain as a solid residue.
