Adding water to salt, is not increasing solubility, it is increasing the ammount of solvent, and thereby increasing the ammount of salt in solution :).

How can you tell when you reach the solubility of salt in water?

You reach the solubility of salt in water when the salt stops dissolving and settles at the bottom, no matter how hard you try to mix it. You can increase solubility by increasing the water temperature.


How does the solubility of salt change with temperature?

As the temperature increases, the solubility of salt (sodium chloride) will increase. At 20 degrees C, the solubility of sodium chloride is 35.76g/100mL water and at 100 degrees C, the solubility is 39.1g/100mL water. Refer to the related links for more information.


What happens to the solubility of a solid in water as the temperature increases?

Although the solubility of most substances increases with temperature (eg you can dissolve more sugar in water when it is hot than you can in the same amount of water when it is cold) with gases the solubility decreases with temperature, so that cold water will hold more gas than the same amount of hot water. As oxygen is a gas its solubility decreases as the water temperature increases.


Does the solubility increase as the temperature increases?

Perhaps you mean the solubility of substances in water. Most solids have increasing solubility in water with increase in temperature, but certainly not all of them. Some solids e.g. Cerium Sulphate have decreased solubility in water at higher temperatures, while some solids show increasing solubility up to a certain temperature, above which the solubility decreases, such as Sodium Sulphate. The solubility of common salt, Sodium Chloride, is almost unaffected by temperature. Gases generally have lower solubility in water at higher temperatures.


How do you increase solubility?

1) Strong solute-solvent greater solubility while weak solute-solvent attractions equate to lesser solubility 2) Temperature (for gaz high temperature decrease solubility) 3) Pressure for solubility gaz in liquid 4) Polarity of solvent: Like dissolves like

Does a block of salt in water or a sugar cube in water have a higher rate of solubility?

Salt dissolves more easily than sugar, in my experience. But the solubility is similar. :)

Which solubility of salt increase with the increase in temperature?

The movement of the particles in the solute and between solute and solvent are amplified at higher temperature and the solubility increase.


What will happen to the soulubility of salt if you heat the solvent?

The solubility will increase.


What is one factor that can increase the sanlinity?

Salinity is increased by changes in salt/solute concentration. This can be caused by increases in water temperature which leads to greater solubility of salt in water or increased evaporation.


Does crystals grow faster in salt water or fresh water?

In presence of salt the crystals grow faster because the solubility of salt decreases the solubility of any other compound in water.


What would INCREASE the rate of dissolution but not affect the solubility of salt in water stirring or heating it?

Stirring and heating improve the rate of dissolution and not affect the measured solubility at a given temperature.But I mention that the solubilty of solids is increased when the temperature increase.

How can you get more salt to dissolve in water?

Increase the temperature of the water.
