"Salt" is a very general term for a group of evaporites, or rocks which form through the evaporation of water. By the question, I'm assuming you are referring to common table salt, NaCl.
Salt does not absorb water. On the contrary, salt is dissolved by water into individual particles of NaCl, which subsequently are bound to the water with hydrogen bonds. The only way to retrieve salt out of solution is through evaporation, which breaks the hydrogen bonds, releasing particles of H2O and leaving behind the salt in increasing greater concentrations within the remaining water. Eventually, the water will become super-saturated with NaCl, and the salt will be deposited.

∙ 11y agoNo. Sodium Chrloride has an ionic bond where the electrons are shared unevenly between the atoms. Because of this, there is some polarity within the molecule. Water is also polar. When salt is added to water, the polarity of the water aligns with the polarity of the salt molecule. Because the bonds in water are stronger than the bonds in salt molecules, when water (which is constantly moving) moves away it actually pulls the sodium and chlorine atoms apart, which is why salt dissolves. The salt does not attract water, but the water pulls it apart nonetheless.

What freezes faster saltwater or plainwater?
Plain water because the salt in the other water lowers the freezing point. All molecules must line up in order to freeze, therefore if adding salt, the Na and CL must line up with the water molecules in order to freeze. With plain water, the molecules line up faster and thus freeze faster.

Why does salt melt ice the fastest?
salt water freezing temperatureWhen you place salt on the ice it starts to disolve making a saltwater solution .Salt water has a lower freezing point than water; therefore, the ice melts until the temperature of the water reaches the freezing temperature of salt water at that particular concentration.
Salt water summary statement?

A red blood cell would swell if its surrounding solution were?
Hypotonic. If the solution had a lesser salt concentration, the cell would suck in more water to even out the salt levels inside vs outside the cell in the solution... it would suck in water, which would cause it to swell up.
How do you put the salt into the water?
