Water is often referred to as a universal solvent because many substances dissolve in it. These unique properties of water result from the ways in which individual H2O molecules interact with each other. Salt is one subsatances that will dissolve in water rather that sink in the bottom.

How do you get an ice cube to sink?
Ice can't sink hunny :) It is less dense then water (density= 1.0) and therefore, it can only float, not ever sink.
Salt water being denser wants ti sink below the fresh water what would happen If you add less salt to the water what effect would this have?
If you add less salt to the water, the overall density of the salt water would decrease, making it less dense than the fresh water. As a result, the salt water would no longer sink below the fresh water and they may mix together more easily.
What things float in salt water?
Objects such as wood, plastic, cork, and certain metals like aluminum can float in salt water due to their lower density compared to the water. Other materials like rock, glass, and steel tend to sink in salt water due to their higher density.
Will the ship sink further into the seawater than if it was in fresh water?
The ship will sink slightly. Salt water is denser there for heavy objects will float more in it. When the ship goes back to fresh water the density decreases and the ship lowers again. This link gives extra information and some simple experiments for you to try at home. http://www.kidsgen.com/school_projects/how_ships_float.htm
What does salt water do to make people sink?
Saltwater is denser than freshwater, which means it provides more buoyant force to a floating object. When a person enters saltwater, the increased buoyant force pushes down on their body, making it easier for them to sink compared to in freshwater. Additionally, the salt in the water can also affect the body's ability to float by disrupting its buoyancy.
What water evaporates faster salt water or sink water?
Sink water or water without salt.
What water will you not sink in because of the salt?
The body of water you will never sink in is The Dead Sea, because it has allot of salt and the salt will push you to the top of the water THEREFORE you WILL NOT sink.
Why does salt sink to the bottom?
Salt sink in water only for a short time because is denser than water; after this salt is dissolved in water.
Does salt water or sink water weigh more?
salt water
What can float in salt water but sink in fresh water?
i think it is ppeople because they float in salt water and sink in fresh water.
How do you make an egg sink?
An egg will sink in water but will float in salt water. An egg will sink faster in hot water than it will in cold water.
Does salt sink?
Salt is very soluble in water.
Would an object sink faster in fresh water or salt water?
An object would sink faster in salt water because salt water is denser than fresh water. The higher density in salt water creates more buoyant force, allowing objects to sink faster than in fresh water.
What makes an object float in salt water and sink in fresh water?
the salt water is denser because of the salt
Does fresh or salt water sink?
fresh water
How fast does a marble sink in salt water?
A marble will sink faster in salt water compared to fresh water due to the increased density of salt water. The speed at which the marble sinks will depend on factors such as the size and weight of the marble, as well as the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, the denser the water, the faster the marble will sink.
Does an orange sink in salt water?
Yes, an orange will sink in salt water because the density of the orange is greater than the density of the salt water. This is due to the higher concentration of salt in the water making it denser than the orange.
