No. The reason for this deals with the nature of condensation and solutions.

A solution is a liquid where the dominant liquid or solvent has other solids, liquids, or ions, in it called solutes. Saltwater is a solution where water is the solvent and the salts are the solutes.

When a solution boils, the solutes and solvents split apart. For example, vodka is a solution where water is a solvent and alcohol is the solute. Since alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water the alcohol boils off before the water does. In the case of saltwater, the water boils long before salt.

Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid. Since the water vapor does not carry salt (i.e. fresh water vapor from boiled saltwater), it does not condense as saltwater but as fresh water.

How would you separate a mixture of water and ethanol?

By fractional distillation. Heat the mixture gently. As the temperature rises both liquids will evaporate and should be cooled and the condensate collected. The temperature will stabilise at around 78 deg C when all the remaining ethanol will evaporate.What you are left with is pure water. The condensate is mainly ethanol with a small quantity of water. It can be distilled again to increase its purity.


What happens when water vapors rises and cools?

It becomes condensation.The water vapor turns into a liquid


When salt is dissolved in water what is the water?

The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.


Is salt and water a mixture soulution or both?

Salt and water is a mixture. In a mixture you can mix them together then take them apart. When you put salt in water the salt does not dissolve therefore it is a mixture. If salt dissolved in water it would then be a solution,but salt does not dissolve in water so it is a mixture.Salt does dissolve in water to form a solution, which is a mixture. If a chemical that was insoluble in water was added to water, a mixture would also be formed. Slaf can be separated from water by evaporation and crystallisation, the undissolved chemical by filtration.


What is the salt water to fresh water ratio?

The ratio of salt water to fresh water on the Earth is approximately 40 to 1. The oceans are comprised of salt water.

Add salt to water and get pure water back?

you should distille the water ( heat the water so it evaporates and let it condensate into a cup or a mirror)


What exactly is the definition of condensate?

A condensate is a liquid that is formed from the process of condensation. An example of a condensate is the water that forms on the outside of a glass filled with water and ice on a very hot day.


What is a chemical way to remove salt from water?

HI To remove salt from water, boil the water and the steam from the boiling water will be free of salt. Salt is heavier than air so it cant follow the steam. Put a thick piece of aluminium above the steam at a thirty degree angle, the steam will condensate on the plate and flow down the slope into a container sitting beside the boiling water. Not only will it be free of salt it will be almost germ free.

How do you convert pounds of steam to gallons of condensate?

One pound of steam condenses back to one pound of liquid water. Since one gallon of water weighs 8.337 pounds, simply divide the weight of the condensate by 8.337 to find out how many gallons of condensate you have.


Furnance leaks water when the ac is running after a couple of hours?

Condensate forms on the AC coil as the AC runs for a while. AC units are supposed to have a condensate tube that's designed to drain the water. If the tube is plugged or otherwise damaged the condensate will back up and get into the furnace. To avoid damage you should make sure the condensate is draining properly.
