Best Answer

The specific heat capacity of water is about 4.18kJ/kg*K while the specific heat of seawater is about 3.95kJ/kg*K

Specific heat capacity is a measure of heat required to increase temperature of something by Celsius or Kelvin.

Since water's heat capacity is great than that of seawater, then it takes more heat to bring its temperature up

Why does salt water evaporate slower than regular water?

salt water evaporates slower than regular water because the salt makes it harder to boil and evaporate


Does salt salt slow down evaporation?

Salt will slow freezing, but not evaporation. As say salt water evaporates, it will leave behind its salt contents, but it will not evaporate any slower than fresh water.


Does salt water freeze faster or slower than fresh water?

Salt water is slower.


Which water evapourates faster tapsalt and fresh?

It is thought that the water that evaporates the fastest is fresh, with tap and saltwater right behind it. The salt is seen as a barrier to quick evaporation, which is why it is considered slower to evaporate.


Do water evaporate faster or slower with salt in it?

Pure water is evaporated faster.


What water evaporates fastest salt or fresh?

Will water with salt evaporate faster than water with out salt?

No, it will evaporate slower. When salt or another nonvolatile solute is added to water it raises the boiling point, making it more difficult to evaporate.


Will fresh water or salt evaporate faster?

At the same temperature fresh water evaporates faster.


Will salt fresh or tap water evaporate the quickest?

tap water will evaporate the fastest. I know this because i did the experiment for school.


How does salt water evaporate and become fresh water?

because since salt is a solid, only the water will evaporate, leaving the salt behind.


How do you remove salt from salt water?
