Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What effect does adding salt to water have on its viscosity?
  • Step 1: Understand what viscosity means. Viscosity is a measure of how thick or sticky a liquid is.
  • Step 2: Know that water is a liquid with a certain viscosity.
  • Step 3: When you add salt to water, the salt dissolves and interacts with the water molecules.
  • Step 4: This interaction causes the water molecules to stick together more than they do in plain water.
  • Step 5: Because the water molecules are sticking together more, the liquid becomes thicker or more viscous.
  • Step 6: Therefore, adding salt to water increases its viscosity.
