Sodium Chloride. In healthcare, sterile solutions are used to clean wounds and is referred to as 0.9% Normal Saline, or N/S

How many substances are present in a water and salt mixture?

depends on what salt it is and the purity of the water. if the water is 100% pure , then it contains only hydrogen and oxygen as molecules and if it is common salt then it contains sodium and chlorine as molecules


What a dissolved salt look like?

The ions in the salt are surrounded by water molecules.


Adding salt to water lowers the freezing point?

The freezing point decreases when salt is added. What is interesting is that if you continue to cool salty water and you do it slow enough the dissolved solids (salt is one) will migrate outside of the chrystaline structure. Wash away the salt from the outside of an ice cube for example, and the remaining water in the cube will contain much less salt. A simple way to remove a small amount of salt from drinking water.


Why gases are less soluble in salt water than in pure water?

Gases are less soluble in salt water than in pure water because the presence of salt ions in the water disrupts the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. This reduces the ability of gases to dissolve in the water, as the solubility of gases is primarily dependent on the strength of the intermolecular forces in the solvent. Additionally, the salt ions may also compete with the gas molecules for solvation, further decreasing gas solubility.


How do water molecules dissolve in salt?

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.

How do water molecules dissolves a salt?

The water molecules move around the salt ions In water, the salt separates into positive and negative ions.


Why can you not see salt when it is dissolved in water?

because the salt molecules have mixed up with the water 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.

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 dissolve faster in hot water rather than cold?

In hot water the water molecules are moving at a faster rate than they move in cold water. The faster moving molecules hit the salt molecules with greater force and knock them away from the other salt molecules faster. That way the salt molecules dissolve in the water quicker.


Why cant salt dissolve in water?

it can, polar water molecules easily dissolve polar molecules, or ionic compounds such as salt.


What will dissolve?

Salt can dissolve in water because the salt molecules hide between the water molecules so that means it can dissolve but it hasn't dissapeared in the water


What is the water made of?

Salt and Water. Molecules, too.


What is salt water a mixture or solution?

A solution. The salt molecules dissociate into ions in the water.


What molecules are soluble in water?

salt or sugar


Will water without salt evaporate faster than water without salt?

Yes, because when salt is put into water, they can also act like magnets. Attaching to opposite particles. The salt molecules also push down the water molecules so the water molecules have to get enough power to evaporate. Which makes plain water evaporate faster.
