Yes it does. The water evaporates off leaving salt crystals behind. Depending on how fast you evaporate the water, different sizes of crystals are formed. The slower you evaporate, the larger the crystals.

Why evaporation is better than boiling to obtain salt from sea water?

If you can evaporate the water to leave the salt residue, you may be expending less energy that if you do that by boiling. This would be especially true if you use natural evaporation from ponds or similar impoundments. Then you are letting the sun do the work for you.


What is the results of boiling water and salt?

Boiling water with salt will result in a saltwater solution. The salt will dissolve in the water, increasing its boiling point and lowering its freezing point. This solution can be used for cooking, preserving food, or as a remedy for sore throat.


Is salt dissolving in water and leaving a white residue a physical or chemical change?

Salt dissolving in water is a chemical change, the white residue is left when the water gets saturated by the salt and the salt starts to come out of solution to gain equilibrium. The residue can also be left behind when boiling off the water.


What will you get if you boil salt water?

If you boil it, the water will evaporate. If you leave it boiling long enough, you should only have salt left.


Graph does salt or sugar water evaporation?

Yes. The water will evaporate and leave the residue of salt or sugar. A process crystalization is also there from which solids are purified from liquids by heating and then cooling, leaving purified crystalals.


How does evaporation remove salt from water?

Evaporation removes salt from water by separating the water molecules from the salt crystals. When water evaporates, the water molecules turn into vapor and leave the salt behind, resulting in the salt being left behind as a solid residue. This process is often used in salt production from seawater.


In the process of distillation why does salt not evaporate?

Salt does not evaporate during distillation because its boiling point is much higher than that of water. Distillation separates substances based on the differences in their boiling points, so salt remains behind in the residue as the water evaporates and is collected as distillate.


Should salt be added to water to make it boil fast or leave it out?

Don't add salt. Salt raises the boiling point of water, making it take longer.


Could evaporation be used to separate salt and water?

Yes it can be used to evaporate the water which will leave the salt


What are two ways that you could tell the difference between pure water and salt water?

Taste Smell Melting Point Boiling Point Density Residue after it evaporates


Will salt evaporate in water?

No, salt remain as a residue.


After Felix adds salt to the boiling water what will he have in the pot?

Salt water, but the water will stop boiling because upon adding the salt it raised the boiling point of water.
