Halite is rock salt. Even some fresh water lakes have Na+ and Cl- dissolved in them, so I would guess that yes, some halite forms. But probably not all that much compared to a salt lake evaporating.

How do halite deposits form?
The mineral halite is formed when it crystallizes upon the evaporation of a solution that is supersaturated in the elements necessary for its formation, sodium and chlorine.
Which mineral can form when a large pool of seawater slowly evaporates?
It will depend in what is in the water, in general it will be the solids that have been dissolved, but they will come out as crystals if evaporated slowly. in general it will be salt and/or limescale (calcium carbonate) as they are easily soluble
What do crystals and boiling water make?
the water evaporates leaving salt crystal
What three tests can you use to distinguish halite from colorless calcite?
Halite is sodium chloride and calcite is calcium carbonate so there are several differences between them:halite is soluble in water, calcite is not.calcite fizzes if you put acid on it, halite doesn'tcalcite forms trigonal crystals whereas halite is cubic
What was left when water evaporates from copper sulphate solution?
Copper sulfate crystals remain in the container.

Does halite form when salt water evaporates?
Yes, it is correct.
Are halite crystals formed when fresh lake water evaporates?
Since water can only dissolve so much salt, 1.4 kilograms of salt per gallon of water to be exact, before any additional salt will remain isolated from the water in the form of salt crystals. So, as water evaporates from a saline solution (salt dissolved in water) there is less and less water for the salt to dissolve in. Eventually, the amount of salt in solution exceeds the maximum amount that the remaining water can dissolve. Once this point is reached, the excess salt starts to precipitate out in the form of salt crystals. These crystals continue to grow as more and more of the salt is displaced from the water.

Do halite crystals form when a solution of water and salt dissolves?
After the evaporation of water sodium chloride crystals are present.
What are the ingredients in mineral water?
halite is one mineral in mineral water. Halite is used as table salt. It forms when water evaporates and leaves behind the salt.
Is water that evaporates from the ocean salty or fresh?
It's fresh water. The salt remains in the oceans as the water evaporates.
Why are gypsum and halite called evaporite sediments?
Gypsum and Halite are evaporites because they are formed through the evaporation of water to form crystals.
What igneous rock forms sandstone?
the igneous rock that forms sandstone is halite this is because when the sea water evaporates it produces halite and the by-product of the production of halite is red stained sand stone.
What evaporates the fastest fresh water or salt water?
Fresh water is evaporated faster.
What evaporates faster polluted water or fresh water?
Fresh water evaporate faster.
What do crystals and boiling water make?
the water evaporates leaving salt crystal
