Can salt disolve in water

Answer 1

A1 Because water is a solvent, and as long as the material, in this case salt, has less density than the liquid itself, it should sink. But, other solutes like sugar, are denser and water, and will simply sink.

A2 Strictly, there are many many salts, and common table salt, NaCl is the one we meet most commonly. This dissolves readily in water as you remark.

Copper Sulphate 'bluestone' is another salt. Some salts are essentially insoluble, such as many of the Mercury salts - especially the Mercurous ones.

Answer 2

Yes. Although the water may not be boiling after you add it, since the addition of salt will increase water's boiling point! However, the salt would still dissolve in warm or hot water very readily.

Answer 3

It depends on what type of salt it is, like the salt in the ocean i always there so it is possible for salt to dissolve in water

Answer 4

Yes. It dissolves in cold water too, but it dissolves faster in hot water.

Answer 5

salt dissolves in hot water. Salt dissolves in any water.

salt does not dissolve in cold water.....

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7

increase in heat increases kinetic energy therefore salt will be able to dissolve in it
