Best Answer

Impurities in water lower the rate of evaporation because impurities increase the boiling point.

When salt water evaporates does it turn in fresh water?

Yes, it does. When the water evaporates, it can not take the salt with it, so if you left a glass of salt water out, when it is evaporated the salt will be on the glass.

Does salt water evaperate faster than salt water?

No, salt water does not evaporate faster than tap water. The evaporation of water is slower when molecules are dissolved in the water. Sea water is very salty and so will evaporate more slowly than tap water or pure water. If you have a very small amount of salt dissolved in water, then it has a small effect on evaporation. Tap water has a very small amount of salt and other things dissolved in it, but that also varies enormously depending on where the tap water comes from. The rate of evaporation also depends on considerations other than whether there something dissolved in the water, but as a rule of thumb, the more material dissolved in the water the slower the evaporation. This could easily be demonstrated in a science experiment by dissolving varying amounts of salt and then waiting for several days or weeks. One would have to assure that temperature and wind currents were the same for all samples tested. (Note that as water evaporates, salt will become encrusted on the exposed sides of the container and that will alter the concentration of the remaining salt, so appropriate accommodations in the design of the experiment will be needed if more quantitative measures are desired.)


After water evaporates at what point does it adhere to dust to make rain?

After the water evaporates it becomees a gas. Proof: At that temp. , water particlesmove so fastthat the liquid evaporates ad becomes a gas . Boiling is rapid evaportation.


How do you get water from salt water?

you boil the water,so the water evaporates and the salt is left behind


Why is rain fresh water?

Rain results from water that evaporates and then later cools and condenses back into a liquid. Water is a volatile substance, meaning it evaporates easily. Many of the substances dissolves in water, such as salts, are not volatile and so get left behind when the water evaporates.


Can you have tadpoles in tap water?

no cause if do they die so u leave the tap water out for about a week cause tap water has a chemical in it that will harm the tadpoles


Is tap water better than bottle water?

I believe so. Tap water isn't as filtered or purified as bottle water is.


Is Tap water better for you than bottle water?

It's about the same. Most bottled water IS tap water, so any chemicals and weird stuff in tap water are in bottled water too.


How do you separate water from a salt and water solution?

You boil the salt water so the water evaporates, leaving salt.
