Any amount of salt added to fresh water will increase its density as it dissolves. However, this difference will be negligible for very small amounts of salt.

Seawater density is typically around 1.025 g/ml, indicating 2.5g of salts dissolved in 1kg of water. A saturated solution of Sodium Chloride in water contains approximately 360g of salt per kilogram of water, giving a density of 1.360g/ml.

Solubility and density are both affected by temperature and pressure, so these figures are guidelines only.

Does real silver sink?

yes generally silver will sink in water as it is denser than water. but if it is a thin sheet of silver it will not sink and will float on water


How can you make salt water denser?

Density is the mass per unit volume. Therefore, adding salt increases the mass of the water by a larger scale than it does the volume of the water. Actually when you add salt to the same volume of water the mas of the water has a noticeable increase, where as the volume appears to the same ( the volume does increase; however the change is so small that it is unnoticeable ,thus we say it stays the same). So a larger mass divided by the same volume gives you an increase in density.


Does a paper towel work diferently in fresh water than salt water?

Well, honey, a paper towel is gonna do its job whether it's in fresh water or salt water. It's not gonna suddenly decide to take a vacation just because the water is a little salty. So, go ahead and use that paper towel to clean up your mess, no matter what kind of water you've got.


Does an egg have more dense then water?

The density of liquids really depends on the suspended matter in it. If you have really dense concentration of salt in water, yes it could be denser than an egg. If you have merely a weak solution of salt, then the egg is denser... it depend on how much salt you have in the water.


Which type of water freezes first fresh or salt water?

Fresh water freezes at 0oC = 273 K Salt water freezes at about -4oC = 269K NB THere is a large body of chemistry dealing with cryoscopic constants; that is the depression of freezing point, between the pure substance and its dissolution . Similarly, there are also Ebullioscopic Constants dealing the with rising of boiling points between pure substances and solutions.

Why a grape didn't float in fresh water and why a grape didn't sink in salt water?

Salt water is much denser than fresh water and therefore can provide a much greater buoyant force.


When salt makes the water more dense how does it make things float?

Because salinated water has more atoms per mole of the compound, it makes this solution denser than pure water. The heavier a solution is the more force that can be applied to it without breaking its surface. Think of trying to float in air, or to float in water. You are able to float in water because the substance is much denser than air. You will have a much easier time floating in the Dead Sea (the most salty body of water in the world) than floating in a fresh water body of water, which has much less salt in it.

Why do boat sink deeper in salt water than fresh water?

Boats sink deeper in salt water than in fresh water because salt water is denser than fresh water. This greater density exerts more buoyant force on the boat, causing it to sink deeper. Additionally, the salt in the water can also affect the buoyancy of certain materials used in the boat.


Why does steel ball sink in water?

iron is much denser than water. So, steel is denser, too, because it is made from iron.
