It will depend on how salty it is as the salt affects the density. 1 US cup = 236.588238 ml The density of pure water is exactly 1 gram per ml at 4 °C, and so 1 cup would weigh exactly 236.588238 g, or 8.345 oz (1 gram = 0.0352739619 ounces). The more salt you add, the higher the density, and the more 1 cup of salt water would weigh. Ocean water is only slightly more dense than pure water (approx. 1.026 grams per mL), although its density actually depends on how deep you are (it varies between 1.025 at the surface to 1.028 below 1000 meters). And so, to a close approximation 1 cup of ocean water would weigh 242.7 g, or 8.55 oz.
James wants to find out whether a cup of salt water or a cup of fresh water will freeze more quickly. What is the best way for him to determine this
No, salt dissolved in water does not float. When salt dissolves in water, it becomes dispersed throughout the liquid, increasing its density. This prevents the saltwater solution from floating in pure water.
To make salt water, simply dissolve salt in water until no more salt can be dissolved. The ratio is typically about 1 cup of salt per gallon of water. Stir the mixture until the salt is completely dissolved. You now have salt water ready for use.
It is usually recommended that one use one tablespoon of Epsom salt per cup of water for most purposes. A thicker preparation can be used for infected sores or poison ivy.
It depends how much water and how much ice you hae. if you have 1 ice cube and 6 cups of water, the water will weigh more. But, if you have 10 ice cubes and 1/4 cup of water the ice will weigh more.

The cup of water is slightly heavier.
One cubic centimeter of water would fit into that cup, and it would weigh 1 gram.
The salt in the cup will dissolve but the water is still very much salty.
No.
eight ounces.
There is 3.5% salinity of salt in one gallon of ocean water. Now you divide that by 16, which is 0.21875. So there is 0.21875% salinity of salt in one cup of ocean water. Mathematics can really pay off!!! Good for you if you were interested in the salinity of salt in one cup of ocean water!!!:) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
No. First it dissolves; when you add too much salt it sinks to the bottom.
One to two tea spoons of salt for one cup of water.
The salt will dissolve in the water, the water will evaporate and is turned to water vapor(steam) and the salt will be the only one left behind in the cup.
The best way would be to weigh it and then weigh out tenths. Otherwise you could note that 1 cup is 240 ml and one tenth of that is 24 ml. Since salt is not a liquid I think the weight idea works MUCH better.
Depends on what is in the cup...
