You cannot solidify water using salt. As you add salt to water, the concentration in the water increases until the water is saturate. After that any more salt you add will simply not dissolve. It is possible to create a supersaturated solution by adding the salt to warm water and then cooling it. Disturbing the water will cause some salt to precipitate and sink the to bottom.
You can, however, solidify water using sodium acetate. First you add enough sodium acetate to hot water that the concentration is greater than 1.2 g/ml. Then allow the solution to cool. After it is cooled, drop in a single grain of sodium acetate.

If you mix salt with water how much salt water will you get?
The amount of salt water you get will depend on the concentration of salt in the water. When you mix salt with water, the salt dissolves into the water to increase its volume slightly. The overall volume of the salt water will be the sum of the volumes of the original salt and water components.
How much table salt do you need to make homemade crystals?
To make homemade crystals, you typically need to dissolve as much table salt in water as possible to create a supersaturated solution. The exact amount of salt will depend on the volume of water you are using and the desired size and quantity of crystals. Experimentation may be needed to find the right balance for optimal crystal growth.
Does salt float in water?
Yes . Egg float in salt water because salt water is much densier than pure water
How much percent is the Earth's salt water?
About 97% of the Earth's water is salt water found in oceans and seas.
How can you lower the density of salt water?
You need to add more water so that the salt to water ratio is less Mehwesh T
