Final answer:

The type of change that occurs when salt dissolves in water is a physical change where no new substances are formed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of change that occurs when salt dissolves in water is a physical change.

Physical changes involve a change in physical state or appearance, but no new substances are formed. When salt is dissolved in water, it enters the aqueous state and can be regained by boiling off the water, leaving the salt behind.
