A single grain of salt is a shit ton of molecules and when the salt dissolved, those molecules, which were previous joined into crystalline structures, separate and intermingle with the water molecules
it's a good question magnets are actually quite complicated and have to do with alignment of molecules and electricity. Also why are magnetic fields shaped the way they are
This seems like approximately the right place for this: when salt dissolves into water, where does it go? Why is it invisible?

Magnets, how do they work? :funny-clown-hammer:

I know, and I actually think juggalos are comrades that leftists shun at their own peril.
I still have a guilty laugh about that old meme, that said.
basically, it separates into molecules that then hide in-between water molecules.
Obviously the mass is there, but does dissolved salt increase the volume of the solution?
By a small amount, which is much smaller than the volume of the salt.
thank you :very-smart:
Technically ions.
For salt, yes, but not for non-electrolytic solutes.
Right, but those kinds of solutes don't separate; they just dissolve.
Edit: it occurs to me now that you may have meant that the molecules separate from each other, not that the molecule themselves separate.
That is indeed what I meant
Gotcha. Sorry for going all very-smart on you then.
They go to be with Jesus.
