Salt dissolves in water. Here's a rather complicated explanation of why this happens: Salt is made when a sodium atom loses one electron, and the electron moves to a chloride atom. When this happens, the sodium atom becomes positively charged and the chloride atom becomes negatively charged. Positive and negative atoms attract each other, so the sodium and the chloride are attracted and form an ion called sodium chloride (otherwise known as salt). Water molecules are made of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. The electrons in the molecule tend to spend more time around the oxygen atom. This gives the oxygen atom in the molecule a slightly negative charge (and the hydrogen atoms slightly positive charges). When you put salt in water, the ionic bond between the positive sodium and the negative chloride breaks. The positive sodium atom is pulled to the negative end of the water molecules, and the negative chloride atom is pulled to the positive end of the water molecule.

What happens to salt water when it is evaporated?
When salt water is evaporated, the water portion of the solution evaporates leaving behind the salt. This process is known as evaporation and can be used to produce salt from seawater in a process called solar evaporation.

The salt will dissolve in the water, the water will evaporate and is turned to water vapor(steam) and the salt will be the only one left behind in the cup.
What happens to salt when the water evaporates?
Salt remain as a residue.
What happens to the salt solution after evaporation?
After evaporation, the water in the salt solution evaporates, leaving behind the salt that was dissolved in it. This process is known as salt crystallization, where the salt forms crystals as the water evaporates.
What happens Evaporate 10 grams of salt in 50 ml water how much salt will be left?
If you evaporate 10 grams of salt in 50 ml of water, all of the salt will remain once the water has completely evaporated. Evaporation only removes the water, leaving behind the salt.
