The salt molecules are "torn apart" by the water, and are reduced to sodium (Na+) and chlorine (Cl-) ions. It is the ions that go into solution and "float around" there. Note that elemental sodium and elemental chlorine are not what is in solution. The ions are. Salt, sodium chloride, is an ionic molecule; an ionic bond holds salt together.
What else can I help you with?
Why can you not see salt when it is dissolved in water?
because the salt molecules have mixed up with the water molecules
What happens when salt is dissolved?
it becomes split into oppositly charged ion which become surrouded by water molecules......
What is made when salt is dissolved in water?
When salt is dissolved in water, it forms a solution where the salt molecules are evenly dispersed throughout the water molecules. This is a physical change as the salt and water molecules remain the same, only their arrangement has changed.
What happens to salt sodium chloride or NaCl molecules when dissolved in water?
The ions making up the solid salt disassociate in to Na+ and Cl-.
What state is salt in when it is dissolved in water?
When salt is dissolved in water, it is in a dissolved state where the salt particles break apart into ions. This creates a solution where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules.
Is salt water made of 1 or more molecules?
It is made of water (H2O) molecules and salt (NaCl) molecules. So two different types of molecules.
Why does salt slow evaporation?
The evaporation of water is slow when water is dissolved in salt. This is because of the salt molecules, the salt molecules is the reason for the slow evaporation.
What happens when you mix saltpepperand water?
Salt is dissolved in water and pepper not.
What happens when rock salt and water are heated and stirred?
When rock salt is heated and stirred in water, it dissolves into the water to form a saline solution. The heat helps to speed up this process by providing energy for the salt molecules to break apart and mix with the water molecules. Stirring also enhances the dissolution process by ensuring thorough mixing of the salt and water molecules.
When salt is dissolved in water what is formed?
Salt water. When the salt dissolves, it is not a chemical reaction, so no new substance is created. The water molecules surrounded each ion in the solid NaCl separating the Na+ ions from the Cl- ions.
What type of mixture is salt dissolved in water?
Salt dissolved in water is a solution, not a mixture. The result is called a saline solution.
What does dissolved salt look like?
When salt is dissolved in water, it becomes transparent and no longer visible. The water may appear slightly cloudy initially due to the stirring or mixing process, but once the salt is fully dissolved, the solution will appear clear.
