Question

You have 100 mL of water in a beaker. You add 20 mL of table salt. The water level rises to only 105 mL.
how does this happen

Answer 1

Answer:

This is because many empty spaces are there between the water molecules as they are loosely packed, so the solute dissolved in it replaces those empty spaces without enough rise in the water level.

Answer 2

Answer:

it may not happen because salt dissolve in water so water level may not rise the level.
