Why is salt crushed before it is added into water?
So that there is more surface area on the salt exposed to the water and therefore reacts faster.
Does the size of salt affect how fast it dissolves in water?
Yes. Smaller salt grains will dissolve more quickly as they present a larger surface area-to-volume ratio.
Explain why large crystals of coarse sea salt take longer to dissolve in water than crystals of fine table salt?
The smaller crystals have more surface area exposed to be dissolved. Since the larger crystal has a bigger volume to surface area ratio, it will take longer to dissolve it all.
Which will melt first an ice cube or an ice cube with salt on it and why?
Ice cube with salt. The salt disrupts the lattice formation in the ice, lowering the melting temperature. As the salt melts ice, the surface area exposed to the salt increases, further perpetuationg the reaction.
Which dissolve faster granules of table salt or crushed salt?
Table salt because the particles are smaller and water can surround each particle easier to dissolve them. Granules is har to dissolve becauseit is thick than salt since it is loosen.. HOPE DIS HELPS
Why does rock salt dissolve faster than table salt?
Because the crystals of the table salt are smaller and the speed of solving depend on the surface area of the material (smaller crystals mean a greatest surface area); dissolution takes place at the surface of the solid.
Which has greater surface area iodized salt or common salt?
am i have no idea po talaga about diyan
What is the surface area of solubility?
There is no such thing as "surface area" of "solubility" since the latter refers to the maximum concentration in the solution of a solid (or liquid) in a liquid. "Surface area", as applied to such a phenomenon is meaningless. However, by *increasing* the surface area of, say, a salt, by grinding it, will increase its solubility. Maybe *that* is what the questioner meant.

Why does small salt dissolve faster?
Fine grains of salt, like table salt, present a greater surface area so that the water molecules can come into contact with more salt.
Will large salt melt ice better than small salt?
Other way around, it comes down to surface area/mass
Why do you use an evaporating basin to get salt from seawater instead of a beaker?
to increase the surface area of evaporation
Why does table salt dissolve rapidly in water?
Because the crystals of the table salt are smaller and the speed of solving depend on the surface area of the material (smaller crystals mean a greatest surface area); dissolution takes place at the surface of the solid.
How much of the surface of the earth is salt water?
Approximately 72% of the Earth's surface (an area of some 361 million square kilometers).
What dissolve faster in water CRYSTAL of table salt or the same amount of crushed salt?
Crushed salt will dissolve faster as it has a larger surface area providing more contact with the water.
Why do you need surface area for?
In the biological world the surface area ratio to the volume determines if a cell will explode. The reason salt can cause swelling or the death of plants.Paint is a more common use of surface area. How much paint will it take to cover a room 12x12x8 with the ceiling but not the floor.
Does the size of salt affect how fast it dissolves in water?
Yes. Smaller salt grains will dissolve more quickly as they present a larger surface area-to-volume ratio.
