What happen when salt is dissolved in water?
it turns to a solvent
Why is a crystal of salt classified as a pure substance and a slab of granite classified as an impure substance?
Salt is a single compound, but granite contains different compounds. Salt has a single crystal, but a slab of granite contains more than one crystal. Salt contains different compounds, but granite contains different elements. Salt can be dissolved in water, but granite can not be dissolved.
How does a crystal of common salt dissolve in water?
When a crystal of common salt is placed in water, the water molecules surround the individual sodium and chloride ions in the crystal, pulling them away from the crystal lattice. This process causes the crystal to break down into individual ions, which are then dispersed and dissolved throughout the water, forming a salt solution.
How does adding salt to water affect the way water changes temperature how does it affect the freezing point?
A salt dissolved in water creates ion-dipole intermolecular bonds which interfere both with the formation of crystal lattices (which must happen for the water to freeze) and the breakdown of intermolecular bonds (which must happen for the water to vaporize). Adding salt to water will lower the freezing point of the water - this is why putting salt on snow-covered roads breaks up the snow and ice.
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.
What can molecules do when dissolved in water?
Students will make a 2-D model of a salt crystal and use water molecule cut-outs to show how water dissolves salt. After seeing an animation of water dissolving.
When salt is dissolved in water what is the water?
The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. 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.
When salt is dissolved in water then what will water become?
salt when dissolved in water will become an acidic solution
Which water will freeze faster salt water or fresh water?
Fresh water will freeze faster than salt water, and at a higher temperature too. Why?Salt water is called salt water due to its containing dissolved salts -- usually Sodium Chloride (NaCl), but any other salts will do. When water freezes, the molecules link up into a crystal structure (ice). The atoms of any dissolved salts will interfere with the formation of the crystal, meaning more energy will have to be taken out (the temperature will have to drop lower) before salt water freezes.
Is a salt a solution?
No, a salt is a compound. A salt maybe dissolved in water and made into a solution but as salt is not a solution per se.
What state is salt in when it is dissolved in water?
When salt is dissolved in water, it is in a dissolved state where the salt particles break apart into ions. This creates a solution where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules.
What is salt dissolved in water called?
Brine.In your example, the salt is the solute while the water is the solvent.
