When salt settles at the bottom of a cup, it is referred to as "sedimentation." This occurs because the salt is denser than the liquid, causing it to sink rather than dissolve completely. In a solution, if the solubility limit of salt is surpassed, the excess will precipitate and settle at the bottom.

How long will the effect go on if we kept adding salt lava in a cup?

If you keep adding salt to a cup of water, the dissolution process will continue until the water reaches its saturation point, where it can no longer dissolve any more salt. The effects of adding salt include increasing the salinity of the solution and altering its properties, such as boiling and freezing points. Once saturation is achieved, any additional salt will simply settle at the bottom of the cup without further dissolving. The effects of the dissolved salt will persist as long as the solution remains in a liquid state and is not disturbed or evaporated.
