Evaporate the water. That can be accomplished if you boil it, set it in the direct sun,
or just let it lay around for a while in an open container. The water evaporates, but
the stuff dissolved in it doesn't. It collects in the bottom of the container, and can be
scooped up.
If you start with sea water, the stuff that's left is NOT "common salt" like what you
sprinkle on your fried eggs. It's a mix of several different salts and other minerals,
of which "common table salt" is only one.

How is salt removed from seawater?
Salt is removed from sea water in a process called desalination. This process involves evaporating the water leaving behind the salt.
How is salt extracted from seawater?
If you leave the salt water in an evaporating basin the water will evaporate leaving you with big crystals of salt. To speed up the evaporating reaction you can heat it over a Bunsen Burner but your crystals of salt will the smaller.
How is salt that is extracted from seawater different from commo table salt?
Common table salt is Sodium Chloride with Sodium Iodine added as a supplement. Sea Salt is everything that was in the sea water, mostly Sodium Chloride but containing a whole spectrum of elements.
The accumulated salts in seawater make the seawater much more dense than fresh water One of the characteristics of salt water is that it has?
A lower freezing point than fresh water
What is the cubical expansion coefficient of a liquid salt solution?
There is no exact answer. The coefficient changes with pressure, temperature and salinity. For seawater this value can be found in a paper by safarov, called thermal properties of seawater, table 11.It is available at ocean-sci.net
How do you obtain salt from seawater?
you obtain salt from seawater by getting a container then let it sit out in the sun. By allowing it to sit out in the sun you will evaporate the water leaving the salt behind.

What removes salt from ocean water?
It is distillation (desalination), where evaporation is used to evaporate water from seawater to obtain salt. The water vapour may then be condensed to form potable distilled water.the process of removing salt from ocean water is called desalination
