No. Water with salt evaporates slower than water without salt. The reason, is because water with salt raises the boiling point of water, therefore meaning it requires more heat to evaporate. Water normally evaporates at all temperatures above freezing; the higher the temperate, the faster it evaporates. Plain water will boil at 212 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas a mixture of 2 tablespoons salt to 2 cups of water will cause water to boil at 217 degrees Fahrenheit. The reason is because of an ionic bond caused from the salt. It's harder to break the bond, so more heat is needed which, in the end result, increases the boiling point of water.

Which would evaporate faster ginger ale or salt water?

Salt water would evaporate faster than ginger ale because salt water has a lower boiling point and contains fewer volatile compounds compared to ginger ale. This means that salt water molecules would escape into the air more readily during the evaporation process.


Will salt water tap water or pond water evaporate first?

Salt water will evaporate first. Salt takes up space so to speak and there's less "water" to evaporate and so it seems to evaporate faster.


What will evaporate faster salt sugar plain?

Well, if you have a bowl of water and get a salt shaker you can exame. So fill the bowl of water with the salt shaker and skake a little salt out, not to much or not to little. Then, the water soon will evaporate wich means that the salt will be left behind in the bowl and the water will be in the air. The salt is to heavy to go into the air so thats why it will be left behind in the bowl. So the its faster in a way. :D


Does salt water or fresh water evaporate faster?

Fresh water evaporates faster because the dissolved salts in salt water raise the boiling point by strengthening the intermolecular bonds water molecules have with each other. It's why you salt pasta water--to increasing the boiling point of the water so you can cook it at a higher temperature (and season the pasta). Adding salts also lower the freezing point of water, which is why people salt roads before snow.


Why you able to separate the salt from the salt water solution?

Dont get me wrong, but you seem to be asking how to separate salt from water. I think if you evaporate water, the salt cannot evaporate, and it stays behind. However, if the light is really hot, it will evaporate the salt along with the water. (Example: If you put salt and water in a dish and hold it on top of a lit candle, the light is hot enough to evaporate water, but not hot enough to evaporate salt.
