Why does salt dry things out?

Salt is a desiccant, meaning it has the ability to absorb moisture from its surroundings. When salt comes into contact with a moist surface, it draws water molecules out of the material through a process called osmosis, leading to the drying out of that material.


Why does dry ice last longer when salt is sprinkled on it?

Sprinkling salt on dry ice can help it last longer by lowering the temperature at which the dry ice sublimates. The salt lowers the freezing point of the surrounding moisture on the dry ice, creating a icy slush layer that insulates the dry ice and slows down the sublimation process.

How would you separate rock salt to obtain salt crystals and pure dry sand?

To separate rock salt into salt crystals and pure dry sand, first dissolve the rock salt in water, creating a saltwater solution. Next, filter the mixture to separate the sand, which will remain on the filter paper, from the saltwater solution. Finally, evaporate the water from the saltwater solution to obtain pure salt crystals, leaving behind the dry sand collected from the filtration process.


How do you crush a rock salt?
