Some of it does dissolve, the sodium chloride part. The rocky parts do not dissolve and can be filtered out. This is the basis of the purification of rock salt. The sodium chloride dissolves because it is made of charged ions which are attracted to the polar water molecules. The rocky parts are not soluble because they are mostly made of complex silicates, which are large molecules which are not strongly attracted to the water molecules.

∙ 12y agoRock's particles are quite bundled up together so it is very difficult to get the water's particles smudged in their and let them two mix together.

∙ 13y agoNO NO NO...rocks usually don't dissolve in rocks because it's insolube

∙ 11y agoIt doesn't normally dissolve in water because it's not like sugar that dissolves in water it mainly just sink and it is NOT a solution.

∙ 11y agobecause rock has more density than water

by using water in a container
Is rock salt soluble?
Ofcourse,rock salt is soluble in water as it is the salt obtained from pieces of rock made by salt.only the impurities in the rock salt will not dissolve impurities may be dirt,dust or salt.There may be some other soluble material also in the rock salt.
How fast does sugar dissolve in water and how fast salt dissolve in water?
The amount of time and speed it takes to dissolve sugar in water and dissolve salt in water depends on the amounts of salt and sugar, the amount of water, and the temperature of the water. The approximate time needed to dissolve the sugar and salt in water is 25 minutes.

What can be used to dissolve rock salt?
Rock salt, or halite, will eventually dissolve in water. Salt is an ionic compound, and therefore polar, and so is water. Like dissolves like, so the water can get it done.

What does cocoa powder dissolve in?
It doesnt dissolve in cold water because of the salt that hot cocoa contains
Does water and salt dissolve?
No, but salt does dissolve in water.
Why does salt dissolve and sand doesn't?
Water is a polar molecule. you may have heard water being called H20. This is because it has two hydrogens (slightly positively charged) and one oxygen (slightly negatively charged) in a molecule. Salt/Sodium Chloride/NaCl is also polar and that is the reason why it dissolves in water. Sand doesnt because it is not a polar molecule, it is just crushed rock. Hope that helps!
Which will dissolve in water salt sand or gravel?
Salt will dissolve in water
What will dissolve in water the fastest between salt and sugar?
sugar will dissolve first in water because some salt contains big crystalls compared to sugar and there is some salt in rock form forexample here in Uganda we mine salt from lake katwe in rock form they are boulders.more to that our table salt(NaCl) will not dissolve if put in aless hot cup of tea but sugar will do so.
