No, salt water is not a colloid; it is a solution. In a solution, the solute (salt) dissolves completely in the solvent (water), forming a homogeneous mixture at the molecular level. Colloids, on the other hand, consist of microscopic particles that are dispersed throughout another substance but do not fully dissolve, resulting in a mixture that appears cloudy. Examples of colloids include milk and fog.

Why would boiling the water dissolve the salt?

Boiling the water increases its kinetic energy, causing the water molecules to move faster and collide with the salt particles more frequently. This disrupts the bonds holding the salt particles together, allowing them to dissolve into the water.


Why is salt water clear?

Salt or sodium chloride dissolves when subjected to water. The reason that it is clear is since photons from light do not collide with the electrons from the salt water and resonate back light (this causes the shiny surfaces of metals). So light passes through the solution and is hardly by the ions and water.


Why does saturating warm water with salt take faster than saturating regular water with salt?

Think about the particles. When you heat something up, the particles move around more. In this case, because the water particles are moving around more, they collide with the salt particles more often, and with greater force, thus speeding up the breaking up of the salt.


Why does dissolve faster salt in hot water than cold water?

salt dissolve quicker in hot water because it practicaly melts the salt there fore making it quicker to dissolve.

Why do things float in salt water but not salt water?

If you mix salt with water how much salt water will you get?

The amount of salt water you get will depend on the concentration of salt in the water. When you mix salt with water, the salt dissolves into the water to increase its volume slightly. The overall volume of the salt water will be the sum of the volumes of the original salt and water components.


How much salt water is in salt water taffy?

Salt water taffy does not contain actual seawater or salt water as an ingredient. The name "salt water taffy" likely originated from its coastal origins and traditional recipe that includes salt. However, the amount of salt water in salt water taffy is negligible.


Why does water absorb salt?

Water "dissolves" salt. Water does not absorb salt.
