Density and Buoyancy: Density is mass per unit volume. Saltwater has a higher density than pure water due to the dissolved salt. Buoyancy could also be used to distinguish between the two, as an object would float differently in each liquid, but this is not necessary with the given equipment.
By comparing the mass of equal volumes of the two liquids, we can determine which one is saltwater because it will have a higher mass due to its higher density. The combination of a balance and a beaker (if it has volume markings) or a graduated cylinder is sufficient to make this determination.
