No. The salt is already in the water, evaporation just concentrates it. Once all the water is evaporated, all that remains is salt.

no, water holds salt in example the ocean, it has a vast ammount of salt

No, water is only the solvents for some salts.

The density increase, also the viscosity and boiling point; the freezing point decrease.

Why you able to separate the salt from the salt water solution?

Dont get me wrong, but you seem to be asking how to separate salt from water. I think if you evaporate water, the salt cannot evaporate, and it stays behind. However, if the light is really hot, it will evaporate the salt along with the water. (Example: If you put salt and water in a dish and hold it on top of a lit candle, the light is hot enough to evaporate water, but not hot enough to evaporate salt.


Can hot or cold water hold more salt?

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


Which liquid will salt dissolve more in hot or cold water?

The best liquid to dissolve salt in is water. This is one process that will readily happen in oceans naturally.


Why do people float in salt water?

Basically, if something is lighter than water, it will float. If the water is somehow made heavier, more things will be lighter than it. If you add a lot of salt to water, the body of water becomes heavier. Something that is heavier than water might be lighter than saltwater and float in saltwater but not normal water.


What materials do you need to make an egg float in salt water?

An egg with an intact shell, warm water, a lot of table salt (NaCl), a suitable container to hold the above. Pour the (warm) water to the container, stir while adding salt to the water, keep adding salt until no more will dissolve (This is a saturated solution), allow to cool & gently place egg into the salt water.

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.

Why do you heat water to make salt water?

You can heat saltwater to make steam which has no salt in it. Then you can collect the fresh water droplets that the steam makes, and it is nice, fresh, drinkable water. The only reason to heat water to make saltwater is if you wanted to either make the salt dissolve quicker, OR to make a super-saturated solution of salt and water. Heating allows the water to hold more salt than if it were at room temperature, say. When you let that water cool, the salt tends to stay in the water - more salt than room-temperature water should hold. This is called a super-saturated salt solution.

How do you make saturated solution of salt?

Add salt to water until it stops dissolving and undissolved crystals settle to the bottom of the container. The amount of salt required to reach saturation will depend on the temperature of the water. Warmer water will hold more salt in solution.

How salt is obtained from water?

Put salty water into a pot, hold a mirror/glass over it, boil the water, and the water will steam up and drill down the glass, and the salt with still be in the pot xx


How do you get the water back after evaporating it from the salt?

Whilst it is evaporating hold a large jar over the top to catch the steam, when it cools down you will have the water without the salt and it will be pure.
