Re: Does Salt dissolve in oil?

yes I am sure salt gets dissolved in oil but not completely as compared to lemon juice ..

When I make popcorn , I add oil and then add in salt and corn ... sometimes salt isnt fully dissolved ...

But if you add salt to lemon juice , it will dissolve within seconds ... when making lemonade I mix salt in the lemon juice and its gone within seconds !

^CB I just googled and found out

Why Salt Does Not Dissolve in Oil

													 																 									Oil molecules do not contain any charge. Oil is comprised of  long chains of hydrogen and carbon atoms linked to each other and does  not carry any net charge. So, salt and oil are not "chemically alike."  One is charged, the other is not. As a result, when salt is added to  oil, no bonds are broken. Salt and oil simply do not mix. They remain  separate as salt molecules and oil molecules.
