Salt water is heavier
Salt water is heavier than fresh water. The salt dissolved in salt water increases its density, making it heavier than pure water.
It's not the color that is significant, its the fresh water that the ice cubes were made with. Salt water is heavier than fresh water so the fresh water floats a top the salt water.
A gallon of fresh water is heavier than a gallon of sea water because fresh water is denser than sea water.
- Salt water is heavier than fresh water. - Fresh water freezes at zero degrees Celsius (32F), but salt water freezes at lower temperatures, depending on the amount of salt in the water. - Salt water boils at a higher temperature than fresh water.
salt water has more mass because of the added salt so salt is heavier :)
Salt water is different because it is heavier than fresh water.
Because salt water can carry more objects than fresh water because the salt in the water makes the water heavier, and because fresh water has nothing in it so it's less heavier. Water cannot carry something heavier than itself. This heaviness is called density, and is the mass of the water in a particular volume of water. Pure fresh water has a density of 1g/mL, which means each milliliter of water has a mass of 1 gram. Anything that has a density greater than 1g/mL will sink in fresh water. The density of salt water is greater than 1g/mL, so anything that has a density less than the salt water will float on it, including fresh water.
Whether you were in a saltwater pool or a fresh water pool you will feel heavier when leaving the water because while in the water you Will be relatively lighter.
Salt water is denser than fresh water because salt increases the mass of the water by adding more particles to it, which makes the water heavier and more tightly packed. This increased density allows objects to float more easily in salt water compared to fresh water.
Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.
on fresh salt water
Salt water is water that has salt in it and it is found in oceans. Fresh water does not have salt and is found in rivers and lakes.
