The water evaporates and the salt remains in the beaker
It really depends on what you are trying to find out. If you want to know the effect of salt on the boiling point of water, then the answer is that salt water will boil at a higher temperature than pure water. So we can say that salt increases the boiling point of water, which is normally 100 degrees C.

If you just want the observations of boiling salt water, then the answer is that as the water is boiling, it evaporates into the atmosphere as water vapour. So we actually lose water from the beaker (or whatever you are boiling the water in) into the air. If you boil it long enough, the water will eventually be lost altogether and you'll be left with dry salt crystals on the bottom and sides of the beaker.

What happens if you put salt in water and why does it occur?

When salt is added to water, it dissolves and forms a solution. This occurs because the water molecules surround the salt ions, breaking the ionic bonds and allowing the salt to mix evenly throughout the water.


What happens when you put salt in water and how does it affect the properties of the water?

When salt is added to water, it dissolves and breaks down into ions. This process is called dissociation. The presence of salt in water increases the density of the water, raises its boiling point, and lowers its freezing point. This means that saltwater will take longer to freeze and will boil at a higher temperature compared to pure water. Additionally, saltwater conducts electricity better than pure water due to the presence of ions.


Do things float better in salt water or fresh water?

Things can float better in salt water, due to density. For a visual experience, try getting 2 cups, fill both with tap water, and put salt in one cup, then mix it in. Get 2 eggs, and put one in each cup, keep on adding salt to one cup, until the egg floats. I hope I answered your question!


Can a potato float on salt water?

Yes it can, if you put a lot of salt in the water. You'll see that it works it works for a great science project!


What happened when you put some ice cube in boiling water?

the heat capacity in the boiling water cause the ice cube to melt rapidly because heat transferres to the other object that is cold or hotter to make the temperature the same degree (212 degrees fahrenheit)

Why do you put salt in with boiling water and vegetables?

It is commonplace to put salt in water when boiling most foods. The reason why you put salt in with boiling water and vegetables is to help them retain moisture.


What happens when you put ice in boiling water?

It melts


What happens when you put salt into a cup of water?

When salt is added to water, it dissolves due to the attraction between the positive and negative ions in the salt and the water molecules. This creates a solution where the salt molecules are dispersed throughout the water, forming a homogeneous mixture.

What happens when you stir salt into boiling water?

Adding table salt to water causes the water to boil at a higher temperature salt can change. Salt can change the specific heat of the system so that the salt like solution has a higher heat capacity.


What happens when you put two trays of salt water and pure water into the freezer?

The pure water will freeze first since it has a lower freezing point than salt water. The salt in the salt water reduces its freezing point, so it will take longer to freeze compared to the pure water.


What happens when an egg is put into salt water?

It floats.


What happens to water if you put salt in it?

When salt is added to water, the salt particles dissolve and break apart into ions, increasing the density of the water. This makes the water more conductive, changes its freezing and boiling points, and affects the taste.

When is the best time to put salt and meat to the water before boiling or when it is boiling?

It's best to put it in RIGHT BEFORE it's boiling. Time it out right so that when the water is just beginning to bubble, drop it in.
