Why does salt water sink?

Answer 1

1. The most important part of the sodium and chlorine are dissolved from the earth salts and transported by rivers in seas/oceans.
2. A small part of chlorine is originated from the eruptions of submarine volcanoes.

The simplest form of water is 2 atoms of hydrogen bonded with 1 atom of oxygen. The formula for pure water is H2O, and it doesn't contain salt. A common way for salts and other minerals to get deposited in water is by the process of erosion. When water runs through or gets filtered through rocks or soil it removes particles from these substances, these particles in turn become suspended in water.

Answer 4

It sinks because it is much more think and heavy

Answer 5

Yes, assuming you're talking about a mixture of fresh water and salt water. The salt water is heavier than the fresh water and would therefore sink.

Answer 6

Because they have a polar molecule, as water.

Answer 7

Water dissolve only salts with a polar molecule.

Answer 8

Because the volume is greater.
