The salt-water mixture will have the same weight as the sum of the weights of the water and the salt. The water, itself, doesn't gain weight in a strict sense, but the salt-water mixture will be heavier than the plain water. Salt water is denser than fresh water.
Yes, the weight of any salts dissolved in water will be additive with the water.

weight of salt + weight of water = weight of salt and water in solution

Does adding salt to water change its pH level to become more alkaline?

No, adding salt to water does not change its pH level to become more alkaline. Salt does not directly affect the pH level of water.


Does adding sea salt to water change its pH level to become more alkaline?

No, adding sea salt to water does not change its pH level to become more alkaline. Sea salt is a neutral substance and does not significantly affect the pH of water.


If you put 4 milliliters of salt into 50 milliliters of water why does the volume not increase by the amount you put in?

It's because the salt disolves into the water instead of adding more volume to it. The salt molecules are "taken apart" (dissociated) by the water molecules, and they are converted into Na+ and Cl- ions. These ions can fit "between" the water molecules, and can do so without increasing the volume of the solution. More salt can be added without increasing the volume, too. That is until saturation is reached, and then no more salt will go into solution. Adding additional salt beyond this point will increase the volume.


How does adding salt to water effect evaporation?

Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of water, which in turn can decrease the rate of evaporation. However, once the water is in the liquid state, the presence of salt does not significantly affect the process of evaporation.


How does adding salt to water affect the temperature?

It does not affect the temperature of the water, but solutes raise the boiling point and lower the freezing point.

Does salt affect steam temperature?

No, salt does not affect the temperature of steam. Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the water, but once the water has turned into steam, the temperature of the steam remains the same.


How does adding salt to water affect its freezing degree and why?

Adding salt to water depresses its freezing point. Water freezes at 0 oC but adding salt to it will make the intermolecular water to water bonds more difficult to form. The salt disrupts the structure of the solid water. Therefore, water freezes at a lower temperature if it has impurities added.


Does salt affect corn?

Yes, by adding salt to the water, it prevents the growth of the plant and slows/stops its intake of water, killing it.
