Hi!!

Answer:

The density of water increases as the salinity increases. The density of seawater (salinity greater than 24.7) increases as temperature decreases at all temperatures above the freezing point. The density of seawater is increased by increasing pressure.

When salt is dissolved in fresh water, the density of the water increases because the mass of the water increases.
