Does the temperature of water affect how salt dissolve?

Answer 1

I conducted an experiment for one of my classes on this one: I had 6 oz. of cold water and added teaspoons of salt until no more could dissolve (until the solution became saturated). I then repeated this process except I changed the temperature of the water: the first time the temperature was cold (like 36 degrees F) the second time it was room temperature ( like 80 degrees F) and the third time it was hot ( like 195 degrees F) For the cold water, I could add 8 tsp before it came saturated. With the lukewarm water, it was 5.5 tsp, and with the hot water it was only 4 tsp. Therefore, the higher the temperature, the lesser the solubility. contact me if you know the answer for this question: except with sugar. delross@gaggle.net

Answer 2

The solubility increases with temperature. In other words, salt dissolves faster in hot water than it does in cold water. This is true of almost all chemicals, not just salt. Heat usually increases solubility.

Answer 3

As much slat as can be added to the water will eventually dissolve. Heat does help the salt dissolve quicker.

Answer 4

actually

dissolve rate of salt is directly proportional to the temperature

it means when there is increase in temperature there is increase in solubility of salt in water

Answer 5

Yes, temperature does affect the way it dissolves.
