No, salt gets dissolved in water.
Fresh water floats above salt water. In places with little mixing (fjords) there can be a several centimeter thick layer of fresh water above the salt water.

∙ 12y agoSalt water is more dense then regular water. So lets say the density of the water is 1.0 before the salt is added. Then when you add salt the water ends up to be
2.0. If before the object you added to the plain water was 1.5 and sank, it would now float in the salt water since the salt waster is 2.0 and 1.5 is less than the density of the salt water.

The amount of salt in water does affect how things float. The more salt in the water, the better things will float.

How does salt effect how an object float in water?
Sodium chloride (salt) increases the surface tension of water by the increased attraction of the ions.
How much salt does it take to make and object float?
It depends on the density of the water and the weight of the object.
Why does salt water make stuff float than fresh water?
Salt water has a greater density than fresh water. So the same object will foat higher in salt water than in fresh, and some things will foat in salt water that are too dense to float in fresh water.
Does objects that float in water float in salt water?
Yes. Salt water has a slightly higher density then fresh water which means its a little easier for things to float in salt water. So if it floats in fresh water it will certainly float in salt water.
Is it easier to sink or float in salt water?
it is easier to float, salt water has a higher density. The more salt, the easier it is to float.
Can you put salt in water to make an object float?
If the object does not quite float in water, adding salt to the water might make the object float, yes.
How does salt effect how an object float in water?
Sodium chloride (salt) increases the surface tension of water by the increased attraction of the ions.
Will an objects float better in water or salt water?
an object will float on salt water best
Why can't heavy objects float without salt?
They can float without salt - It's the ratio of water displaced by the object in relation to its weight of the object that allows it to float - not the salt content of the water.
How do objects float higher in salt water?
Objects float higher in salt water due the density caused by the salt, the more salt present in the water the higher the object will float.
How would the high salinity of great salt lake effect the way objects float in it?
Give a higher density to the water due to the salt content which causes object to float higher.
Can salt water make an object float?
yes
What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?
the salt water is denser because of the salt
Why do you float better in the sea?
The more salt there is in water the more buoyant an object is. The salt makes the water dense. Objects only float if they have less density than salt.
What things float in salt water?
Nonexistent ones. Salt water is denser than fresh water, so any object which floats in water will also float in salt water.
Would an object float better in salt water compared to fresh water?
Yes.
Why would an object float higher in salt water then fresh water?
In salt water the water is more dense but in regular water the water isn't as dense so it couldn't float an object higher than salt water.More specifically, an object that floats in a liquid exactly displaces an amount of liquid having the same mass as the object. This is called bouyancy. Since the density (mass per volume) of salt water is greater than that of fresh water, an object will displace less volume, i.e. float higher in the salt water, than it would in fresh water.
