Salt dissolve in water. That doesn't mean that a chemical change has
taken place however. A chemical change is where bonds are broken and NEW
BONDS FORM causing a rearrangement of atoms into new molecules. Dissolving
is a physical process where the substance retains its own physical
characteristics but just changes state or shape etc. When salt is put in
water, the sodium and chloride atoms are pulled apart by the water. They
disappear. But if the water is taken away, the sodium and chloride atoms
rejoin with each other.
Solubility of salt in water is whether or not the salt dissolves in water. If the salt blends in with the water then it is said to be soluble. If it just settles at the bottom as a separate layer, then it is not soluble.
Study Island:Sharon pours salt into a glass of water. The salt dissolves. The substance in the glass is a(n) Mixture.
Some examples:
Sodium chloride: 36,09 g/100 g water at 20 0C
Potassium fluoride: 108 g/100 g water at 20 0C
Iron (II) bromide: 133 g/100 g water at 20 0C

Salt water
Because salt water is denser. If you pour salt water and fresh water [one with food coloring] into a glass, the salt water will sink below the fresh water. You are only a bit denser than salt water.

No, salt gets dissolved in water. Fresh water floats above salt water. In places with little mixing (fjords) there can be a several centimeter thick layer of fresh water above the salt water.
You reach the solubility of salt in water when the salt stops dissolving and settles at the bottom, no matter how hard you try to mix it. You can increase solubility by increasing the water temperature.
In presence of salt the crystals grow faster because the solubility of salt decreases the solubility of any other compound in water.
Adding water to salt, is not increasing solubility, it is increasing the ammount of solvent, and thereby increasing the ammount of salt in solution :).
The volume solution in conical flask is very important in solubility ionic salt water. This is because it determines its solubility.
Salt dissolves more easily than sugar, in my experience. But the solubility is similar. :)
Solubilization of salt in water is a physical change.
Solubility
It is an isotopic effect on solubility; the normal water is H2O or the heavy water is D2O.
Salt in water is an example of solubility.
As the temperature increases, the solubility of salt (sodium chloride) will increase. At 20 degrees C, the solubility of sodium chloride is 35.76g/100mL water and at 100 degrees C, the solubility is 39.1g/100mL water. Refer to the related links for more information.
Solubility
If by "salt" you mean sodium chloride, then YES, it is most definitely soluble.
