It lowers the boiling point, and makes it "salt water".
~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
If you keep adding salt to the same amount of water you started with you will notice that the water will keep rising and soon the will be a pile of salt at the bottom of the cup.
As a dry measure the answer would be 8 ounces. If you want a weight it would depend on what type of salt you were to weigh, table salt, kosher salt, etc. I weighed a cup (8 ounces) of iodized table salt on my digital scale and it weighed 15.2 ounces.
You can dissolve 1/4 cup of salt in one cup of water. Slightly (10%) more if the water is boiling.
The salt will dissolve in the water, the water will evaporate and is turned to water vapor(steam) and the salt will be the only one left behind in the cup.
Salt remain as a residue at the bottom.

Not by itself. A cup of salt may be a fraction of the total amount of salt in the world, but just sitting there, a cup of salt is a cup of salt.
The salt breaks down into ions because the covalent water compound is bound together tightly.

well, Not much but when the water evaporates The salt will still be at the bottom of the cup or bowl. It becomes salty water:P
Salt wouldn't evaporate, even if you put it in water. If you put salt in water, you could get it out by setting the cup of salt water and waiting until it evaporated. The salt would still be there.

It happens because if you put a certain amount of salt in a cup with water the more salt you put in the more things you put in will float.
If you happen to leave a cup of water outside for a few hours it will evaporate and melt once it melts it will turn into gas
