Do dissolved substances in a solution affect the density or volume of it?

Ab-"solute" ly :)

A great example - water + salt = salt water and salt water has a higher density than water alone. The volume is also affected but not necessarily in a 1 to 1 manner (1 ml of salt + 1 ml of water != 2 ml of salt water)
