Density = Mass/Volume
As salt(mass) increases and the volume remains the same, density also increases.

Does evaporation of salt water density to increase or decrease?
It causes the density to increase because the more salt added to water, the more buoyant or dense it becomes. Salt itself does not evaporate as the water does so as the water evaporates the salt content is effectively increased, therefore making the water more saline or dense.

A cork is floating in salty water As more salt is added to the water to increase its density the cork will?
it float at the same level in water.
How does salt affect density?
Salt will increase the density of water at the same temperatures.
Do evaporation of salt water cause density to increase or decrease?
The density of water increase after evaporation.
Why did an egg float when the salt is added to the water?
When salt is added to water, the density of water increases. Therefore the density of egg becomes less than the density of water therefore it begins to float in water.
Does evaporation of salt water cause it to increase or decrease density?
The density increase after evaporation.
What happens to density during evaporation of salt water?
The density increase.
Do evaporation of salt water cause density increase or decrease?
During evaporation the density increase.
Processes that increase the density of sea water included evaporation and what?
Water being evaporated, the concentration of salt increase and as a consuquence the density increase.
Why does the evaporation increase the density if ocean water?
By evaporation concentration of salt increase; salted water has a higher density than pure water.
Why does water's density decrease after potassium chloride salt is added?
The water density doesn't decrease.
