You can heat saltwater to make steam which has no salt in it. Then you can collect the fresh water droplets that the steam makes, and it is nice, fresh, drinkable water.

The only reason to heat water to make saltwater is if you wanted to either make the salt dissolve quicker, OR to make a super-saturated solution of salt and water. Heating allows the water to hold more salt than if it were at room temperature, say. When you let that water cool, the salt tends to stay in the water - more salt than room-temperature water should hold. This is called a super-saturated salt solution.

What h is needed to make the water evaportate and leave the salt behind?

Heat is needed to make the water evaporate from a salt solution. When heat is applied, the water molecules absorb energy, break their bonds, and change from a liquid to a gas, leaving the salt behind.


How can salt and water be separated once it is mixed together?

Heat the mixture, which will make the water evaporate, leaving behind the salt.


How does salt make ice melt faster?

The salt dissolving in the water creates heat which then melts the ice.


Which holds more heat salt water or fresh water?

Salt water holds more heat than fresh water


how do you seperate solid salt and water?

Heat the water and salt, the water will evaporate and the salt will remain

What does 50 grams of salt and 200 mL of water make?

probably a supersaturated solution if you heat it to dissolve all of the salt


What holds heat longer salt water or fresh water?

Salt Water, do to its small salt particles which not only the water holds the heat ,but the salt particles TOO!!! Most brines for heat transfer systems are very heavily salted solutions to the point where there is more salt than water [by weight] in them.


Why do salt make water evaporate faster?

the salt is made of heat so it evaporate faster


What is a salt kettle?

A salt kettle is a container or vessel used to heat water and salt to make salt brine, traditionally used in the process of salt production. The brine is then boiled to produce salt crystals.


Does salt added to water make the water heat up faster than water without salt added and if both are heated to a boil?

NO Normal water boils faster because salt (sodium chloride) breaks up very slowly and since its salt water. The salt binds itself with the molecules of the water therefore increasing the boiling point, hence making it slower to boil. In comparison to normal water, salt water takes longer to boil than normal water.


How can you make a spoonful of salt dissolve faster in water?

You can make salt dissolve faster in water by stirring the solution, heating the water slightly (not boiling), or crushing the salt into smaller particles before adding it to the water. These methods increase the surface area of the salt particles in contact with the water, allowing for quicker dissolution.
