Salt (table salt) is sodium chloride; after dissociation in water ions as Na+ and Cl- are relesed.
These ions can be identified by methods of analytical chemistry.

How distill water can be made a conductor of electricity?
Distilled water doesn't conduct electricity because there aren't any ions in it. The solution is to add ions to the water. The easiest way to do so is to add some salt to the water.
Why do acids conduct electricity when mixed with distilled water?
When you add an acid to water you make ions, and ions conduct electricity. For instance, if you add hydrochloric acid, HCl to water, you make H+ and Cl- ions in water. Water with ions in it, also called an electrolyte, will conduct electricity. The ions are able to carry charge and they are free to move in the solution.If you add a base to water, the same effect works just as well. All you need to conduct electricity in water is free ions in solution. Adding table salt to water will also work.
When you add water to salt does it then become hydrated?
As far as I know, obviously not!
What are the steps for salt water?
Add salt to water to obtain salt water.
When do you add salt to water when boiling potatoes?
Add the salt to the water before you add the potatoes. If you are boiling potatoes with the intention of mashing them, don't add salt at all.

How much salt do you add to 130oz of tap water to make salt water?
Adding any amount of salt to water you obtain salt water; it is important to know the desired concentration.
The freezing point of water can be lowered by adding?
By adding any "foreign" molecules or ions. Such as if u add sugar or salt to water, it will lower the freezing point of water.

What is happening when you add salt to water?
Depending on how much salt you add to the water and how warm the water is... the salt will disolve

Why can you add more salt to heated water before it saturates?
As water is heated, it expands. This larger volume means there's more room to fit salt in between the molecules. Also, the added heat energy allows the water molecules to fit between the ions in the salt more easily, pulling the salt into solution.
How distilled water can be made conductivity?
Add salt (ions) or acid (protons) to water to make it more conductive because charged particles can 'transport' this charge to the oppositely charged electrode.
Is Na2SO4 soluble in water?
Yes, sodium sulfate is water soluble. Many sulfates are soluble in water. A notable exception is barium sulfate, whose insolubility forms the basis of a test for the presence of sulfate ions. Add barium chloride to a solution containing sulfate ions. The white barium sulfate precipitate is a positive test for sulfate ions.
What happens to the density of distilled water when you add salt to it?
When you add table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) to water, the salt dissolves into ions, Na+ and Cl-. The volume increases by a small factor, but the mass increases by a bigger factor. There are two reasons. One is simply that the NaCl is much denser than water to begin with, mainly because its ions have more mass than the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in the water molecules. Also, the ions bind nicely with the water molecules, so that the volume of the saltwater isn't as big as the water volume plus the salt volume.
