Best Answer

when you dissolve salt into water the bonds between sodium and chlorine break them into ions (also known as an aqueous solution). for example if you where to add zinc to the solution then the cholrine would bond with the zinc leaving you with sodium and zinc chloride. which means that the sodium has been chemically replaced by the zinc

You can separate saltwater a few different ways.

The most basic is to take a cup of saltwater put it over a fire and collect the steam. This will turn the water from a gas to a liquid and then when collected and cooled convert back into a liquid while leaving the salt and trace elements in the first cup.

The more advanced way involves using centrifuges and separating the water from the salt based on the principal that salt is heaver than water and will separate into the bottom of the centrifuge.
