Why do ships sink more in fresh water than in salt water in respect to freeboard?
It is because the fresh water has less density compared to that of salt water.
Why a grape didn't float in fresh water and why a grape didn't sink in salt water?
Salt water is much denser than fresh water and therefore can provide a much greater buoyant force.
How do you separate sand from salt?
You place the salt / sand mixture in warm water. The salt will dissolve in the water and you than then four the salt solution off the sand, leaning just sand. Then boil the salt solution untill all the water evaporates, leaving the salt.
Can salt disolve in water?
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.
Can an egg float better with salt?
An egg will sink in fresh water. Salt water is denser than fresh water, which allows the egg to float.

Why does salt sink to the bottom?

Does salt sink?
Salt is very soluble in water.
Would an object sink faster in fresh water or salt water?
An object would sink faster in salt water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher density in salt water creates more buoyant force, allowing objects to sink faster than in fresh water.
What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?
the salt water is denser because of the salt
Does fresh or salt water sink?
fresh water
How fast does a marble sink in salt water?
A marble will sink faster in salt water compared to fresh water due to the increased density of salt water. The speed at which the marble sinks will depend on factors such as the size and weight of the marble, as well as the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, the denser the water, the faster the marble will sink.
