Yes, always for all mixtures.

Interestingly, the volume of the solution may not equal the volume of the two things before being mixed -- even for mixing two liquids.

The mass of salt water must be the EXACT same as the mass of the salt and the water before they were combined.

However, this does not hold true for their volume.

Does the mass of water decrease when salt is added?

Because the formula for density=Mass/Volume, so since density of water is always constant, when the volume (the amount of water) increases, then the mass (in grams) will also increase to make sure the density # is the same. Mass and Volume are directly proportional. when one goes up, the other goes up, and vice versa.


Does antimatter have density?

density is the word used to describe how much is in a certain place e.g. 100ml of salt water has a higher density than the same amount of pure H2O because the salt water has both H2O and NaCl (salt) squashed into the same amount of space therefore everything has density if however if you meant mass or weight the answer would also be yes


Does rock salt dissolve in water?

Yes. Rock salt, which is largely the same as table salt, will dissolve in water.


What melts ice cubes faster sugar or salt?

You will have to do an experiment to determine the answer. You will need to think about having equal concentrations of salt or sugar in the cubes. The size of the molecules/particles is different. So 100 g of salt does not have the same number of molecules/particles as 100 g of sugar. The ratio of particles is 1:4.6 for the same mass of sugar to salt. You can see that this is not an easy question to answer. Which melts faster if the mass of salt and sugar is the same? Which melts faster if the number of particles is the same? The next problem is that salt actually separates into two particles when dissolved in water, sodium ions and chloride ions whereas sugar does not. So one salt particle is actually two ions and the ratio of particles now becomes salt:sugar = 2.3:1 for the same mass of substances. This sounds like a great project for someone to investigate.


What weighs more salt or black pepper?

100 g of salt has the exact same mass as 100 g of pepper. However, pepper is less dense than salt so equal volumes of salt and pepper would have the salt have a greater mass.

How is the quantity of salt affected when the salt is reclaimed from a salt-and-water solution?

The mass of salt reclaimed should be the same as the mass of salt that was put into the solution.


Is sea water the same as water?

No. Freshwater does not have the same amount of dissolved materials as sea water. Sea water has a much greater amount of salt dissolved in it.


When salt dissolves in water does the amount stay the same?

yes


Why does the density of water increase when salt is added to it?

Density = Mass/Volume As salt(mass) increases and the volume remains the same, density also increases.


If you double the amount of water how will the proportions by mass of hydrogen and oxygen in the water be affected?

The PROPORTIONS by mass will be unaffected, they will remain the same.


Who has salt water system for spas?

the same salt water system used in a pool is also fine for a spa. the amount of chlorine generated is determined by the input current to the salt cell and the amount of time in operation.


When you created salt water solution if you evaporate the water how many mg of salt would be left behind?

Exactly the same amount of salt as you weighed out to make the salt water solution in the first place.


What are the materials needed for the experiment of water with salt affecting evaporating time?

Two graduated beakers. Water and salt. Put a known amount of plain water in one and the same amount of salt water in the second beaker. Then observe which one evaporates faster.


Does three scoops of salt weigh the same amount as three scoops of sugar in the same volume of water?

No, sugar is heavier than salt.


What happens if you keep adding salt to the water?

If you keep adding salt to the same amount of water you started with you will notice that the water will keep rising and soon the will be a pile of salt at the bottom of the cup.


How can you make salt water denser?

Density is the mass per unit volume. Therefore, adding salt increases the mass of the water by a larger scale than it does the volume of the water. Actually when you add salt to the same volume of water the mas of the water has a noticeable increase, where as the volume appears to the same ( the volume does increase; however the change is so small that it is unnoticeable ,thus we say it stays the same). So a larger mass divided by the same volume gives you an increase in density.
