How does the amount of dissolved salt in water affect how much heat it ca hold?

The amount of dissolved salt in water affects its heat capacity - the ability to hold heat. Generally, higher salt content in water lowers its specific heat capacity, meaning it can hold less heat compared to pure water. This is due to the presence of salt ions interfering with the water molecules' ability to store heat energy.


What has more oxygen salt water or fresh water?

Freshwater has more oxygen than salt water but oxygen is more solublein fresh water.


Can hot or cold water hold more salt?

Hot water can hold more salt than cold water because the heat causes the water molecules to move farther apart, allowing more salt molecules to dissolve. Conversely, cold water has a higher density, so it can dissolve less salt.


Why you able to separate the salt from the salt water solution?

Dont get me wrong, but you seem to be asking how to separate salt from water. I think if you evaporate water, the salt cannot evaporate, and it stays behind. However, if the light is really hot, it will evaporate the salt along with the water. (Example: If you put salt and water in a dish and hold it on top of a lit candle, the light is hot enough to evaporate water, but not hot enough to evaporate salt.


Why do people float in salt water?

Basically, if something is lighter than water, it will float. If the water is somehow made heavier, more things will be lighter than it. If you add a lot of salt to water, the body of water becomes heavier. Something that is heavier than water might be lighter than saltwater and float in saltwater but not normal water.

Does purified or tap water hold more salt?

It all depends on what you mean. Tap water has more salt than purified water but purified water can hold more salt if salt is added. There is more room, so to speak, for the salt ions to fit into a container.

Why do you heat water to make salt water?

You can heat saltwater to make steam which has no salt in it. Then you can collect the fresh water droplets that the steam makes, and it is nice, fresh, drinkable water. The only reason to heat water to make saltwater is if you wanted to either make the salt dissolve quicker, OR to make a super-saturated solution of salt and water. Heating allows the water to hold more salt than if it were at room temperature, say. When you let that water cool, the salt tends to stay in the water - more salt than room-temperature water should hold. This is called a super-saturated salt solution.

How salt is obtained from water?

Put salty water into a pot, hold a mirror/glass over it, boil the water, and the water will steam up and drill down the glass, and the salt with still be in the pot xx
