Yes - in that the water is no longer pure... No - in that the salt can be reclaimed from the water by evaporation. The salt and the water are separate substances. The salt is said to be 'in suspension'.

What kind of chemical compounds do salt and water form?

They don't. The dissolving of salt in water is not the formation of a new compound, but rather merely creating a uniform mixture. It is not a new substance.


When you mix salt with water it makes salt water is this a new substance?

When water and sugar is mixed, a solution is made. Water is the solvent. Sugar is the solute.


When salt is dissolved in water what is formed?

Salt water. When the salt dissolves, it is not a chemical reaction, so no new substance is created. The water molecules surrounded each ion in the solid NaCl separating the Na+ ions from the Cl- ions.


When substance dissolves in another substance is a new substance formed?

It depends upon nature of substances for example when Glucose or Salt are dissolved in water no new substance is formed so these are physical changes but when Ammonia gas is dissolved in water Ammonium and hydroxide ions are formed so it is a chemical change.


If you react an acid and an alkali what new substance is produced?

An Alkali is also a base. So, when reacted with an acid forms a salt and water as products


Is salt water a compound or a mixture and why?

salt water is not considered a compound as the salt and water are not present in a fixed ratio. Thus it is called a mixture.


Is salt dissolving in a glass of water a chmical change?

A chemical change is when a substance is formed into an entirely new substance, with different properties, as such, a chemical change cannot be reversed. So in answer to your question, salt, in this case the solute (the substance that is being dissolved), is dissolved into water, a solvent (the substance that a solute is dissolved into), so you would think that a chemical change has taken place. But actually, a physical change (when something is changed, but keeps its properties, for example, when you break chalk in two, it is still chalk, only smaller), because if you heat the saltwater, then the water will evaporate, leaving the salt behind, in its original form.


When sugar is dissolved in water is it a new substance?

No. The SUBSTANCE is still water, only now sugar is dissolved in it.


Is adding salt to water a new product?

Adding a salt to water we obtain a solution (a homogeneous mixture) not a new chemical compound.


What is the solubility of salt in water?

Salt dissolve in water. That doesn't mean that a chemical change has taken place however. A chemical change is where bonds are broken and NEW BONDS FORM causing a rearrangement of atoms into new molecules. Dissolving is a physical process where the substance retains its own physical characteristics but just changes state or shape etc. When salt is put in water, the sodium and chloride atoms are pulled apart by the water. They disappear. But if the water is taken away, the sodium and chloride atoms rejoin with each other.


Does salt and water have a chemical reaction when they come in contact?

No. Salt and water becomes a solution, not a new compound.
