How much salt do you put in salt water to make it denser than fresh water?

Any amount of salt added to fresh water will increase its density as it dissolves. However, this difference will be negligible for very small amounts of salt.
Seawater density is typically around 1.025 g/ml, indicating 2.5g of salts dissolved in 1kg of water. A saturated solution of Sodium Chloride in water contains approximately 360g of salt per kilogram of water, giving a density of 1.360g/ml.
Solubility and density are both affected by temperature and pressure, so these figures are guidelines only.

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.
What happens when the mercury in barometer or manometer is replaced by water or any other less dense liquid than water?
Since water is lighter than mercury, this means the height will differ. The denser (high relative density) the fluid, the shorter the height. If the fuild is light such as water its height will be much higher than that of mercury. Also, the denser the material is the higher the pressure.
Is the Black Sea salt water or fresh water?
Saltwater, but it is much less salty than the open ocean at least on the surface.
Why a grape didn't float in fresh water and why a grape didn't sink in salt water?
Salt water is much denser than fresh water and therefore can provide a much greater buoyant force.
When salt makes the water more dense how does it make things float?
Because salinated water has more atoms per mole of the compound, it makes this solution denser than pure water. The heavier a solution is the more force that can be applied to it without breaking its surface. Think of trying to float in air, or to float in water. You are able to float in water because the substance is much denser than air. You will have a much easier time floating in the Dead Sea (the most salty body of water in the world) than floating in a fresh water body of water, which has much less salt in it.
Why does steel ball sink in water?
iron is much denser than water. So, steel is denser, too, because it is made from iron.
