Question

Does the volume of water increase when salt is added to it?

Answer 1

$\underline{\underline{\underline{\underline{\textsf{\huge{ANSWER}}}}}}$

No , the volume of water does NOT INCREASE

$\underline{\underline{\underline{\textsf{\huge{REASON}}}}}}$

⇒ Water has several spaces in between their molecules .

⇒ These spaces are called the intermolecular spaces and I guess you are familiar with the fact that a liquid has large intermolecular spaces

⇒ Hence when salt is added , the salt occupies these empty spaces.

⇒ The overall volume does not increase.

⇒ However the mass of the solution increases

Hope it helps !

Answer 2

Answer:

No volume of water does not reduce when you add salt . the salt molecules will be upholder by water molecules between their gaps . so, volume of water is neither increases nor decreases when salt is added.
