The process of salt dissolving in water is called dissolution. In this process, the ionic bonds in the salt crystals are broken when they come into contact with water molecules, causing the salt molecules to spread out evenly throughout the water.
EvaporationIf your intent is to have both products--salt and water, then the process is called distillation, in which the water is boiled away and collected.
It's called desalinization, and it's an expensive process.
The process of boiling off water from a salt solution is known as evaporation. As the water is heated, it turns into vapor and escapes, leaving behind the salt. The salt can then be collected once all the water has evaporated.
The process of salt dissolving in water is a physical change because it does not involve a change in the chemical composition of either the salt or the water. The salt molecules are simply separated and dispersed within the water molecules.
