yes salt concentration increases because the ratio of water to salt changes as the water evaporates under heat.

at the beginning levels are normal but as there is less water it will be more salt.

look at it this way:

beginning- if you have a cup of water and one teaspoon of salt its even distributed

end- now if you have half a cup of water and one tablespoon of salt, you ll notice its the same amount of salt but the second solution contains much more.

As you evaporate water from salty water, the remaining water will have a higher concentration of salt, and eventually salt crystals form when the salt concentration exceeds the solubility of the salt, and beyond that, if the water continues to evaporate, eventually you will just have salt left.

As evaporation proceeds there is less and less water left and the concentration of salts increases until the salt concentration reaches the saturation point. After this as evaporation continues the salts come out of solution and begin to form salt crystals.

the water evaporates and the salt stays!! :)

we did it so many times in science last year....

How can you change concentration?

To increase the concentration of a solution, you can decrease the amount of solvent by boiling off, or by evaporation, or you can simply add more solute. Conversely, to decrease the concentration, you can add more solvent.


How do you precipitate soluble complex?

Add salt to the solution. Change the temperature of the solution. Let the solvent evaporate in increase the concentration of the soluble complex. Change the pH of the solution.


What are two ways in which you change the concentration of a solution?

Evaporate the solvent; crystallize the dissolved material (by various techniques).


What is infinite dilute solution?

Infinite dilution means such a large dilution so that when you add more solvent there is no change in concentration.


Is the concentration change after you add water to solution?

Adding more solute to a solution will increase its concentration. Adding more solvent will only dilute it. Think of salt water. The salt is the solute, and water is the solvent. Add salt and it becomes a more concentrated solution. Add more water, and it is more dilute. Simple and easy once you think it through.


How does concentration change after every spoon full of salt is added after the solution is saturated?

The concentration of the salt solution does NOT change- it is saturated.


Can anything change a solution?

Adding more solute or more solvent can change a solution.


What can change solutions?

Adding more solute or more solvent can change a solution.


What happens if a solvent is added to a solution?

I presume from category that the question ask about the heat of dissolution. Assume the solvent and solution is at thermal equilibrium. Adding more solvent would yield change in interaction for non ideal solution and thus it could yield increase or decrease of temperature depend on the infinite heat of solution of the solute that we interested in. Adding more solvent would not yield temperature change for ideal solution.


How do you recover a solvent from a solution?

Reverse osmosis is used to recover solids solutes from liquid solution. So consequently the answer to the question is to describe the Reverse osmosis process, use wikipedia or google for the description of the reverse osmosis process.

How can the concentration of a solution change?

You add zinc to the solution and add 10% of what is left
