the salt is a solute that dissolves into the water which is a solvent. When this occurs this is then known as a solution. another type of solute would be sugar.

Is salt water suspension?

A simple solution of salt in water is not a suspension; instead it is a true solution. If the salt water comes from a polluted part of the ocean, it may well be a suspension, but not because of its salt content.


Is salt and water a mixture soulution or both?

Salt and water is a mixture. In a mixture you can mix them together then take them apart. When you put salt in water the salt does not dissolve therefore it is a mixture. If salt dissolved in water it would then be a solution,but salt does not dissolve in water so it is a mixture.Salt does dissolve in water to form a solution, which is a mixture. If a chemical that was insoluble in water was added to water, a mixture would also be formed. Slaf can be separated from water by evaporation and crystallisation, the undissolved chemical by filtration.


When salt is dissolved in water what is the water?

The salt is the solute and the water is the solvent. Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.


Is salt water a colloid emulsion solution or suspension?

No. A colloid is a suspension of solid particles in a liquid medium. Salt is not suspended in water, it dissolves.


When salt is dissolved in water do the sodium and chloride ions dissociate?

When salt dissolves in water, it's a physical reaction. The salt separates into sodium and chloride (Na+ and Cl-) ions, and the water remains just as it was. Nothing happens to the water in a salt solution.

What is a solution and a solvent?

Solution - a homogeneous, molecular mixture of two or more substances. Salt water is a solution of salt and water. Solvent - a substance that dissolves another to form a solution. In the above example, water is the solvent that salt is dissolved into to form salt water.

Is removing salt from water a suspension or is it a solution?

Removing salt from water is a process, not solution/suspension. Salt form with water solutions.


What is the same with salt and water?

Salt and water form a saline solution.


Would salt and sand combine into a solution?

no, unless you mix the sand and salt with water. Sand would not combine in water to form a solution, whereas salt would form a solution.


What is the solvent in an aqueous solution of salt?

The solvent is water, the solute is salt; solvent and solute form a solution.


What happens when table salt and water form a solution?

The table salt mixes with the water.


How do you form sand and water solution?

Sand grains will not dissolve in water. Therefore, sand and water can not form a solution. Salt and water can make a (saline) solution, because the salt crystals will dissolve completely into the water.


What is the phase of the mixture of water and salt?
