salt will melt and become a milky colloured liquid but you will need a very high boiling poit to achieve this

How can you find out if salt in water is a saturated solution?
It depends on the amount of salt and the amount of water. If there is only a little salt, it is probably unsaturated. That means more salt could be dissolved into the solution. If there is quite a bit of salt, it is more than likely saturated. If you add more salt and it just floats to the bottom, it is saturated. Unless it is supersaturated of course. For the solution to be supersaturated, you would have had to boil the water, add salt to the point where it stops dissolving into the boiling hot solution, then let the solution cool down. So, it can be any of the three.
What is the salt water solution of a solute?
Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent. Salt water is the solution. This solution is sometimes called a saline solution.
How can you tell when a liquid has become saturated?
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
How can you tell salt water from fresh water?
the amount of salt dissolved in the water
How do you tell if a solution is super saturated?
Well if you heat the saturated solution all the solids should dissolve and it should stay a colourless solution with no solids even if it does cool down to the original temperature. At this point it is supersaturated.
Is saltwater solution saturated or unsaturated?
From your question it is impossible to tell. A salt-water solution can be unsaturated or saturated depending on how much salt was added.

Salt is the solute. Water is the solvent. Salt water is the solution. This solution is sometimes called a saline solution.
How do you know when a salt solution is saturated?
You can tell when a solution is saturated because if it is, you can see solid particles of the solute in the liquid. These particles do not dissolve even if the solution is stirred vigourously.
How can you can tell if a fat is saturated?
If it is solid at room temperature but melts when heated.
What does density tell you about salt water?
The density of a salt water solution compared against the densities of "pure" water and salt provides an approximate value of the ratio of water to salt in the mixture.
How can you tell when a solid and liquid solution is saturated?
A solution refers to any combination of a solvent - water, for example - and a solute - such as sodium. So in salt water, H2O is the solvent which solvates the solute, NaCl. There might be just a little salt in the water, or a lot; in either case it is a solution.A saturated solution is when there is so much of the solute in the solution that no more will dissolve. Imagine adding salt to a glass of water, while stirring continuously. For a long time, the salt would be solvated (dissolved), and disappear. Eventually however, you would reach the saturation point - the water becomes unable to "hold" any more salt, so you would see the salt start to simply collect on the glass bottom.In short, the definition of a saturated solution is one that cannot dissolve any more of the solute. Different solvent and solute combinations all have different saturation points; the solvent may be able to hold a lot of one compound, but perhaps just a little bit of another.
Describe how you can tell the difference between an unsaturated solution and a saturated solution?
The easiest way to determine if the solution is saturated or not is not really very 'scientific.' Remove a sample and, drop a bit of the solute into it. If the additional solute dissolves, the solution is not saturated. If it does not, the solution is saturated.
How can you tell that a solution of water and kosher salt reaches a saturation point?
When it is impossible to dissolve any salt further at a given temperature.
What exactly how would you make 100 grams of a saltwater solution that is 20 percent salt tell how many grams of salt and how many grams of water you would need?
20% salt solution is the equivalent of adding 200gr salt in a 800 ml (1000ml -200ml) of water. you now have one liter of a 20% solution.
How can you tell when a liquid has become saturated?
A solution is saturated when it is no longer possible to dissolve an additional quantity of solute, at constant temperature.
Vinegar in a solution Name the solvent?
Tell me what else is in the solution. Solution containing a liter of vinegar plus a tablespoon of salt--the vinegar is the solvent. Solution containing a liter of vinegar plus a thousand liters of water--the water is the solvent. (Solutes can be either solid, liquid or gas--oxygen, a gas; diethylene glycol, a liquid; and salt, a solid, all dissolve in water.)
