Best Answer

salt has a much higher boiling point than water. Water will start evaporating, depending on the temperature, and the local saturation of the surrounding air (the humidity). Dissolved seasalt (NaCL -> Na+ + Cl- ) will stay behind, and eventually return to its salt-state. since its melting point is 801 °C (1,474 °F) and its boiling point 1,465 °C (2,669 °F), it will not evaporate.

Is it bad to not have a vent on the back of your dryer?

it is not so bad but evapourated water will build up in the dryer out pipe


How would you separate the sand and salt from a sample of sea water?

<p>You can separate the sand by filtration, but still the salt (mainly sodium chloride) is dissolved in the water. Then, you can separate the salt from water by distillation. The liquid you collect after water vapor is chilled is distilled water. You can use other methods to separate sand as sedimentation (usually slower than filtration) and salt as reverse osmosis.<p>


What happens when you exhale into water?

Water vapour that you exhale is just like all of the rest of the water in the world. For example, what you breath out today could be part of a storm raining down the next day. It's all part of the water cycle. It works by water being in the ocean to start with. Then, it gets evapourated into a cloud. The cloud then turns back into rain and falls back down to earth, and could be used a drinking water, fall back into the sea, or help a plant grow. Whatever happens to it, it ends up back in the clouds to start the cycle again. Specifically, this is one possibility of exhaled water vapour ending up in the ocean: Exhaled water vapour -> turns into a cloud up in the atmoshpere -> rains down into the sea.


How do you tell someone that if you pour salt into a glass of water the salt does nt disappear it dissolves?

well you can get abaking tray and pour all of the salt soultion in it and put it in the oven and in a few mints you will see the water has dried out and left behind crystals of salt


How does water get on the outside of a cup?

Water might disappear on a cup through evaporation. As the water sits, it begins to turn to a gaseous state and rises away from the cup.

What causes air bubbles to form on the leaves in a fish bowl left under direct sunlight?

The water in the fishbowl is evapourated which forms air bubbles under the leaves in the fish tank because the evapourated water escapes the bowl of water by travelling as a bubble. The leaves in the fish tank traps the bubble under it causing it to stay there.

Why does an oasis disappear?

If the water table drops the water may no longer be able to surface as a spring so water will disappear from the surface of the desert and the oasis will disappear.

How do the lithoshpere and hydrosphere interact?

They interact through the hydrological/water cycle. By condensation of evapourated water from the rivers, seas and oceans which results in rainfall over the rocks, structures, and landforms. Then through surface runoff and underground water flow the water from land returns back to the water bodies.
