Salinity is the ratio of the mass of salt to the mass of water in a solution or body of water.
The average saltwater to freshwater ratio on Earth is about 97% saltwater and 3% freshwater. This ratio varies depending on the location and specific bodies of water.
The density of a salt water solution compared against the densities of "pure" water and salt provides an approximate value of the ratio of water to salt in the mixture.
sollution with a 1 to 1 ratio of salt to water
You need to add more water so that the salt to water ratio is less Mehwesh T
The mole ratio of salt (Na2SO4) to water in Na2SO4.10H2O is 1:10. This means that for every 1 mole of Na2SO4, there are 10 moles of water molecules.
yes, if enough fresh water was added it could dissolve the salt. evaporation would not work though. the salt would stay and the water turns into vapor in the air leaving a higher salt : air ratio. ++++ The first sentence is wrong. The salt is ALREADY dissolved! The water turns into vapour at it surface and leaves the salt behind. There is no "salt:air ratio".
Some water is called salt water because it has salt (mostly sodium chloride) dissolved in it.
To make salt water, simply dissolve salt in water until no more salt can be dissolved. The ratio is typically about 1 cup of salt per gallon of water. Stir the mixture until the salt is completely dissolved. You now have salt water ready for use.
one cup to one gallon water
Solution A would be more concentrated because the salt to water ratio in Solution A is 3:1. However, in Solution B, the salt to water ratio is 2:1.
Salt dissolved in water is called a salt solution.
