Answer:

Salt crystals separated, and the parts spread evenly among water molecules.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is due to salt and water being a solution, when you mix the two substances, you are diluting the salt with the water, which is why the salt crystals disappear and spread throughout the contained water.
