Sweat is largely water. There is no salt in human sweat. Human sweat tastes salty because it contains potassium chloride, no sodiumm chloride. Salt functions as an electrolyte and is used in muscle contraction causing calcium and potassium to shift in the muscle cells, the heart muscle cells as well, allowing for engery to be used. Salt is regulated by nephrons of the kidneys (1 million in each) and is excreeted into the urine. High blood sodium/salt levels usually result in high salt content in urine. Both sweat and urine are drinkable fluids in the absence of water and can save your life in a crisis.
What else can I help you with?
Do penguins have a salt gland or a sweat gland?
Penguins have a salt gland, not a sweat gland. The salt gland helps them to excrete excess salt from their bodies, which is particularly useful for penguins that live in marine environments. Sweat glands are not as common in animals that live in cold climates like penguins do.
What remains on your skin when the water in your sweat evaporates?
When the water in your sweat evaporates, the remaining residue on your skin is primarily made up of salt and other minerals and compounds that were dissolved in the sweat. This residue can contribute to skin dehydration and may cause a salty sensation on the skin.
How does salt form?
Salt typically forms through the evaporation of bodies of water that contain dissolved salts. As the water evaporates, the dissolved salts become concentrated until they reach a point where they precipitate out and form solid salt crystals. This process is commonly used in salt production from sea water or salt mines.
Is the salt gland in the albatross the same as their sweat glands?
Only mammals have sweat glands, so the albatross doesn't have them. Its salt gland helps it to get rid of the heavy concentrations of salt it ingests with its food and by drinking ocean water. This is a much greater concentration of salt than what mammals handle via sweating, and of course, sweating's primary function is not to rid the body of salt, but rather to cool it, to produce scent, to protect the skin and hair, etc. Mammary glands are even a modified type of sweat gland.
What state is salt in when it is dissolved in water?
When salt is dissolved in water, it is in a dissolved state where the salt particles break apart into ions. This creates a solution where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules.

When salt is dissolved?
When salt is dissolved a water sodium chloride solution is obtained.
How can you get salt lines on your hat?
Salt lines on clothing are caused by the presence of sweat from your body. [Presuming you did not swim in salt water.] Sweat can be very salty. Your head does sweat too, and over time, salt lines can appear where sweat soaked into the hat and then dried.
Is a salt a solution?
No, a salt is a compound. A salt maybe dissolved in water and made into a solution but as salt is not a solution per se.

Why does salt separated from a salt water look different than the salt that dissolved in the water?
The separated salt is a crystalline solid; the dissolved salt is dissociated in ions.

When salt is dissolved in water, it is in a dissolved state where the salt particles break apart into ions. This creates a solution where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules.
What do sweat glands excrete?
Sweat glands excrete sweat ( which is mostly salt and water).
When salt is dissolved in water. which is the sovent?
Salt
When salt is dissolved in water then what will water become?
salt when dissolved in water will become an acidic solution
