Evaporation rate depends on the temperature of the liquid, how tightly the liquid molecules bond to each other, the surface area of the liquid, and the temperature, pressure, and air movements in the surroundings into which evaporation occurs.
The warmer the liquid, the faster the evaporation rate. The stronger the molecules bond to each other, the slower the evaporation rate. The larger the exposed surface, the faster the evaporation rate. The colder the surroundings, the faster the evaporation rate. The lower the atmospheric pressure above the liquid, the faster the evaporation rate. The faster the air above the liquid moves, the faster the evaporation rate.
(DrStrong) The answer is yes, it does. Dissolved salt in water will lower the solution's vapor pressure according to Henry's Law. Evaporation rate is proportional to the difference in vapor pressure of the solution and the vapor pressure of the bulk gas phase over the water surface. I agree with the above answer as well except that the coldness of the surroundings is not a direct factor in determining the evaporation rate.It is not correct.
Yes, salt can evaporate from water. When water evaporates, it leaves behind the salt, which does not evaporate.
When a pan of saltwater is boiled dry, the water evaporates, leaving behind the salt crystals in the pan. The salt does not evaporate with the water and remains in the pan as a solid residue.
Salt water will evaporate faster.
Boiling salt water produces two things: drinkable water from the vapor, and salt, an essential element.
When adding salt to water, in any concentration it raises the boiling point of the water. However, as the water is boiled the water evaporates leaving the salt behind and the salinity of the water increases (think the Dead Sea). Water can completely evaporate leaving only salt and mineral behind (Sea Salt).
Water is water. It will evaporate no matter what is it. The real question is whether or not the chemicals or salt will evaporate with the water or not. The answer to that is no. The salt/chemicals will stay in the container.
Boiled water.
Evaporate the water.
Salt water will evaporate first. Salt takes up space so to speak and there's less "water" to evaporate and so it seems to evaporate faster.
Dont get me wrong, but you seem to be asking how to separate salt from water. I think if you evaporate water, the salt cannot evaporate, and it stays behind. However, if the light is really hot, it will evaporate the salt along with the water. (Example: If you put salt and water in a dish and hold it on top of a lit candle, the light is hot enough to evaporate water, but not hot enough to evaporate salt.
When ocean water evaporates, the salt does not evaporate with the water. The water molecules evaporate, leaving the salt behind. This is why seawater is salty, as the salt remains in the ocean as the water evaporates.
