No; water maintains a constant mass of 1 gram milliliter. If you add salt to the mix, it won't make the water heavier, although the combined weight of both salt and water put together will be greater than the water by itself. So no the water does not get heavier, your just adding more weight in the form of salt.

∙ 15y agoThe more salt there is in water the more dense it becomes. "More dense" basically means "heavier".
It looks like you sort of asked the question in reverse - it looks like you're asking if LESS salt makes it heavier - and the answer to that would be no. Less salt would be less dense - less salt would be "lighter".

Is sand heavier then salt?
Sand is heavier than salt That's why sand bags are used, rather than salt bags.
Why do some things float in salt water but not in fresh water?
Because salt water can carry more objects than fresh water because the salt in the water makes the water heavier, and because fresh water has nothing in it so it's less heavier. Water cannot carry something heavier than itself. This heaviness is called density, and is the mass of the water in a particular volume of water. Pure fresh water has a density of 1g/mL, which means each milliliter of water has a mass of 1 gram. Anything that has a density greater than 1g/mL will sink in fresh water. The density of salt water is greater than 1g/mL, so anything that has a density less than the salt water will float on it, including fresh water.

Why a cork float in a salt water?
The salt in the water causes everything to have more buoyancy (Meaning it makes things more likely to float.) If you die in the ocean your body is more than likely going to float unless it is attached to something heavier is attached.

Is water or salt water heavier?

Will a soda can float on salt water?
yes, becasue the mixture of water and salt will make the soda can less heavier then the water
Is salt water's density heavier than pure water?
Salt water's density greater (not heavier) than that of pure water.
How does salt make water heavier?
because chuck Norris said so
Why is it that the egg will float if there is salt added in the water?
This is because Salt adds density to the water. In other words, by adding and dissolving salt in the water, you make the water heavier than the egg.
Why is salt water heavier then tap water?
because salt has weight
Which is heavier seawater or freshwater?
Salt water is heavier, as it has salt disovled in it. This can be observed in some underwater caves.
Why salt stayed behind and water evaporated?
because salt is heavier...... =)
Would a potato get heavier if you place it in salt water?
No a potato will not get heavier if placed in salt water, and does it really matter if it does? Do not ask stupid questions. Keep it simple.
What is the difference in weight between a gallon of salt water and a gallon of fresh water?
salt water has more mass because of the added salt so salt is heavier :)
Is salt or sugar water heavier?
That depends on the corresponding concentration.
