Does salt water around the world have the same density?

No, it depends on the volume of water that can dissolve the salt. If the volume of water is more then it dissolves more salt and the density will be more and if the volume of the water is less then it dissolves less salt and the density will be less.


Will pure water have the same density as salt water?

No, pure water will have a lower density than salt water. Salt water is denser due to the presence of dissolved salts which increase its mass without significantly increasing its volume, resulting in a higher density compared to pure water.


Why does the density of water increase when salt is added to it?

Density = Mass/Volume As salt(mass) increases and the volume remains the same, density also increases.


Which is lighter fresh or salt water?

Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').


How does dissolving salt in water change the density of the water?

The density increases as the mass of the solution increases but its volume remains the same.


How does salt affect density?

When salt is dissolved in water, the mass of the water increases without a significant increase in volume, increasing the density of the solution. This is because the added salt molecules displace some of the water molecules and fill the space in between them, making the solution denser.


Does sea water has a higher density than pure water?

Yes, sea water has a higher density than pure water due to the presence of dissolved salts and minerals. The higher density of sea water allows objects to float more easily in it compared to pure water.


Salt water density?

Salt water density really depends on a few different things. The concentration of salt and temperature are the 2 largest factors in determining the density of salt water.


What is the differencein pressure between salt water and fresh water at different depths?

Currents and thermal gradients aside, salt water is slightly more dense than fresh water, so (at the same depth, for the same temperature) the pressure in salt water will be creater than for fresh water. The difference in pressure will be (pressure in fresh water) x (density of salt water/density of fresh).


If salt water was added to another liquid would an egg still float?

That depends entirely on the liquid. If you are mixing salt into water, then yes. But only if you mix in enough. Fresh water has a density of 1.0, while saltwater has a density of 1.025. The more salt, the higher the density. Since the egg's density stays the same, you should get it to float if you mix in enough salt.


Why sea water and freshwater do not have same density?

Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water Sea water and fresh water does not have the same density because sea water has salt, which makes it more dense than fresh water


What has greater density plain water or salt water?

salt water
