In general, salt water may be colder than distilled(pure) water because the salt water has a high concentration of dissolved ions within it causing its specific heat capacity to be lower than that of distilled water. That is to say, it takes less energy to raise the temperature of salt water then distilled water, which also means that distilled water can retain heat longer than salt water can. Dont really know if thats what you were getting at but there you go.

What makes salt water denser than fresh water?

The salt in the water does this. Consider a glass of water filled up to a line on the glass. Then add 3 teaspoons of salt to that glass of water and stir until the salt dissolves. You will find that despite the addition of the salt the water still only comes up to the line. What has happened is that the salt has gone into solution in the water and the mass of the salt is now part of (inside) the water - the density of the solution has increased.


How can you retrieve salt from broken glass?

A properties of compounds problem.
