Do water evaporate faster or slower with salt in it?

Pure water is evaporated faster.


Will water with salt evaporate faster than water with out salt?

No, it will evaporate slower. When salt or another nonvolatile solute is added to water it raises the boiling point, making it more difficult to evaporate.


How can you see if salt water will evaporate faster than water without salt?

Put 2 cups outside on a sunny day. One with salt water and one with regular water. Check on them every 5 minutes or just watch them. Then you time how long the salt water took to evaporate compared against how long it took the regular water to evaporate. Then you'll have your answer.


What evaporate faster salt water or regular water?

Regular water evaporates faster because salt or any kind of solute (the substance that dissolves) raises the boiling point and lowers the freezing point.


Does water evaporate faster than water without salt?

Salt water will evaporate faster.


Does boiling salt water leave residue?

Yes it does. The water evaporates off leaving salt crystals behind. Depending on how fast you evaporate the water, different sizes of crystals are formed. The slower you evaporate, the larger the crystals.


Can salt evaporate with pool water?

Yes, salt can evaporate with pool water. As pool water evaporates, the salt content remains in the pool. When the water evaporates, the salt will be left behind and may accumulate in the pool. Regular testing and monitoring of the pool water chemistry is important to maintain the proper salt levels.


Is water more likely to evaporate with salt or with chemicals?

Water is water. It will evaporate no matter what is it. The real question is whether or not the chemicals or salt will evaporate with the water or not. The answer to that is no. The salt/chemicals will stay in the container.


Will salt water tap water or pond water evaporate first?

Salt water will evaporate first, as it has a lower boiling point than tap water or pond water. The presence of salt lowers the boiling point of water, causing it to evaporate more quickly.


How we separate salt from salt water?

Evaporate the water.


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.


How can liquid evaporate faster?

Heat it faster. I'm not sure which, but Salt either makes it boil/evaporate faster or slower...
