If it is table salt (or sodium chloride) NaCl will be split by ionisation (being hydrolysed) in Na+ and Cl- ions by polar water molecules. Also any other soluble salt will be split in its constituent ions.

What is salt water a mixture or solution?

A solution. The salt molecules dissociate into ions in the water.


Solutions of water and other molecules are found both inside and outside living cells. what term refers to the salt in a solution of salt and water?

Salt is the solute.


What is made when salt is dissolved in water?

When salt is dissolved in water, it forms a solution where the salt molecules are evenly dispersed throughout the water molecules. This is a physical change as the salt and water molecules remain the same, only their arrangement has changed.


Is salt water a mixture or solution or a mixture?

Salt goes into solution in water. That makes a salt and water solution of salt water, unless there is too much salt to completely dissolve in the water. In that case, it will be a mixture of salt and salt water.Saltwater is technically both a solution and a mixture, since all solutions are mixtures, or physical rather than chemical combinations of substances. However, the more narrow use of the term "mixture" excludes both solutions and alloys.


What is a solute and solevent in a saltwater solution?

In a basic saltwater solution, the water molecules would be the solvent and the salt molecules would be the solute.


When salt is dissolved in water what is formed?

Salt water. When the salt dissolves, it is not a chemical reaction, so no new substance is created. The water molecules surrounded each ion in the solid NaCl separating the Na+ ions from the Cl- ions.


Why is water a solvent and salt the solute in a salt solution?

Water is the solvent because it is what dissolves the solid salt into the solution. The water molecules pull apart the crystal structure of salt and surround the salt ions.


How do salt and water form a solution?

yes, its called a salt water solution (saline)


How can salt evaporate from a solution or a body of water?

Salt can evaporate from a solution or body of water when the water evaporates, leaving the salt behind. This process occurs when the water molecules escape into the air as vapor, while the salt particles remain in the solution or water body.


Does salt and water moke a solution?

Yes. Adding salt (NaCl) to water makes a homogenous solution of water molecules, Na+ ions and Cl- ions.


What is the materials of hot and cold water with salt?

Hot water typically consists of H2O molecules and salt. Cold water with salt is also made up of H2O molecules and dissolves the salt in its solution.
