Yes, water can dissolve salt. When salt is mixed with water, the water molecules surround the salt ions and break them apart, allowing the salt to dissolve into the water.

Solids that dissolve in water?

Salt, sugar, and baking soda are examples of solids that dissolve in water. When these substances are mixed with water, they break down into molecules or ions and disperse throughout the water, forming a homogeneous solution.


Is sand soluble or non soluble in water?

Soluble means something will dissolve. Sand does not dissolve in water, salt does.


How should I properly add salt to boiling water to enhance the flavor of my dish?

To properly add salt to boiling water, simply sprinkle the salt directly into the water before it starts boiling. Stir the water to help the salt dissolve evenly. Adding salt at the beginning of the cooking process allows it to infuse into the food, enhancing the overall flavor of the dish.


Why the level of water remains same when a pinch of salt dissolve in it?

When salt dissolves in water, the salt crystals break apart into individual sodium and chloride ions, which become surrounded by water molecules. This dispersal of salt ions throughout the water increases the water's density slightly, but not enough to noticeably change the water level. The added ions simply fill the spaces between the water molecules, so the overall volume of the water does not change significantly.


Is salt water a very good conductor of electricity?

Salt is an ionic substance, meaning it breaks up into ions when dissolved. Salt water has Na+ (sodium) and Cl- (chlorine) ions present in it, therefore being able to carry a charge through the ions. to prove this you could try running an electric current through water, it won't work. but if you dissolve some salt in it and attach a globe to the circiut, the globe will light up :)
