What is an anhydride salt?

If you think to an anhydrous salt this is a salt which doesn't contain any water in the crystalline structure.


Why is water a solvent and salt the solute in a salt solution?

Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.


Does salt in salt water have to dissolve in order to freeze?

The salt in salt water is technically still a solid, so it is already "frozen". However, when the water freezes, it forms a crystalline lattice structure that has no room for the salt, so the salt is expelled from the water.


Does salt dissolve in water and why?

Yes. The structure of salt is an ionic lattice of NaCl. This lattice dissociates in water to produce Na+ and Cl- ions.


What is trihydrate salt?

A trihydrate salt is a salt that contains three water molecules within its crystal structure. These water molecules are bound to the salt compound, which results in a specific chemical composition for the salt. Trihydrate salts are commonly found in nature and can also be formed through chemical processes.

In a salt solution why is water the solvent and salt the solute?

In a salt solution, water is the solvent because it is the substance that dissolves the salt. The salt is considered the solute because it is the substance that is being dissolved in the water to form the solution.
