Water desalination

Post by cindydledesma1 »

Is it possible to get salt to clog up on top all together in salt water?

Hello,

I am not sure I understand your question, but I will try to answer: I feel the salt will clump together at the bottom of the container, not the top - it is heavier than the water and will fall to the bottom when it aggregates together.

I think you may be working on this project: https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... #procedure
Please let me know if that doesn't answer your question.

Thanks,
Tonya
