The salt-water mixture will have the same weight as the sum of the weights of the water and the salt. The water, itself, doesn't gain weight in a strict sense, but the salt-water mixture will be heavier than the plain water. Salt water is denser than fresh water.
Yes, the weight of any salts dissolved in water will be additive with the water.

weight of salt + weight of water = weight of salt and water in solution

Adding salt to water will increase the volume based on the amount of salt added. This is because the saltcrystals displace the water molecules. Remember that volume is a measurement of how much space matter consumes.

Yes it does indeed change. Salt has a higher density than water does, it dissolves into the water, creating "Salt Water" The binding of salt and water increases it mass, and it takes up volume.

How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?

It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.


If you put 4 milliliters of salt into 50 milliliters of water why does the volume not increase by the amount you put in?

It's because the salt disolves into the water instead of adding more volume to it. The salt molecules are "taken apart" (dissociated) by the water molecules, and they are converted into Na+ and Cl- ions. These ions can fit "between" the water molecules, and can do so without increasing the volume of the solution. More salt can be added without increasing the volume, too. That is until saturation is reached, and then no more salt will go into solution. Adding additional salt beyond this point will increase the volume.


How can you make salt water denser?

Density is the mass per unit volume. Therefore, adding salt increases the mass of the water by a larger scale than it does the volume of the water. Actually when you add salt to the same volume of water the mas of the water has a noticeable increase, where as the volume appears to the same ( the volume does increase; however the change is so small that it is unnoticeable ,thus we say it stays the same). So a larger mass divided by the same volume gives you an increase in density.


What was the effect of adding more salt to water?

saltier water.


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.

Will water volume be increased by adding salt?

Yes , the volume of water will increase if salt is added , as salt is a solute and water is a solvent. When salt is added , it affects the weight of molecules and the liquid itself.

How does adding salt to water affect its freezing degree and why?

Adding salt to water depresses its freezing point. Water freezes at 0 oC but adding salt to it will make the intermolecular water to water bonds more difficult to form. The salt disrupts the structure of the solid water. Therefore, water freezes at a lower temperature if it has impurities added.


Does salt affect corn?

Yes, by adding salt to the water, it prevents the growth of the plant and slows/stops its intake of water, killing it.
