Salt water has a higher boiling temperature than fresh water so it would take longer than fresh water to heat up. this is because of the tendancy for H2O to 'cluster' around and cling to the salt molecules. This means that fresh water will evaporate faster than salt water (depending on the concentration).

∙ 12y agoThere are two possible answers for this question. if you boil freshwater, then record the temperatures for an hour n five minute intervals, then another day boil saltwater, and record those temperatures, the answer is freshwater. but if you start oiling the freshwater and saltwater at the same time, then start recording the temperatures once the water starts boiling, the answer would be saltwater because saltwater takes a longer time to boil. but the true answer is FRESHWATER

∙ 11y agoA 70 degree ocean will feel warm, but a 70 degree lap pool barely tolerable-- too cold to swim in. The reason has to do with the specific great of water , which is influenced by saline. Heat loss from one's body is more extensive and more rapid in fresh water than in salt water. The salt serves as an insulator, one might say. The perceptive difference is substantial-- about 10 degrees. Therefore an 82 degree lap pool is analogous to a 72 degree ocean.

to distinguish between them as it were.

What holds heat longer soil or water?
Soil absorbs heat much faster than water, but water does not have air in between like soil so it doesnt lose heat as fast, so water holds heat longer
Which held its heat longer soil or water?
Soil
What hold heat longer the sand or water?
sand
Which holds heat longer land or water?
land
Does water or land hold heat longer?
Land holds more heat than water because the earth has magma and lava but water doesn't
Does salt water retain heat longer than fresh water?
yes
Does the sun heat saltwater and freshwater at the same rate?
fresh water will! XD Hey, I did an experiment on this for my science project and it was saltwater that boils easier. If you do this experiment you have to do it multiple times to make sure you get the average. It boils faster, because it has more particles which makes it warmer. For example, when we wear sweatpants, we get warm, and when we wear less clothing we take longer to warm up. Just like the particles. More particles= more heat Less particles= less heat
How do you evaporate saltwater?
you put the water in a pan and heat it till the water evapourates
Which holds more heat salt water or fresh water?
Salt water holds more heat than fresh water
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.
What holds heat longer salt water or fresh water?
Salt Water, do to its small salt particles which not only the water holds the heat ,but the salt particles TOO!!! Most brines for heat transfer systems are very heavily salted solutions to the point where there is more salt than water [by weight] in them.
Since salt water is denser than fresh water does swimming in fresh water sap body heat faster?
No.
How can salt be saparate from sea water?
Heat the saltwater to evaporate the water off, you'll then be left with the salt at the end.
What holds heat longer soil or water?
Soil absorbs heat much faster than water, but water does not have air in between like soil so it doesnt lose heat as fast, so water holds heat longer
After boiling water with sugar heat retention compared to fresh water?
In my experiment, he water with sugar had the most heat retention and cooled slower than the fresh water. I'm not 100% sure why, but I think it is because it is denser, therefore, when it is heated, more particles have been heated. If there are more particles heated, then it will take longer for each particle to cool down than water which has less particles.
What provides us heat that evaporates fresh water from the ocean?
The source of heat is the Sun.
Which type of water freezes first fresh or salt water?
Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than Salt water. So Fresh Water doesn't have to lose as much heat in a given amount of time in order to Freeze.
