Subject: Mixture and seperation of compounds

There is a question that is puzzling me but since I have no access to the 
necessary experimental tools, I can not answer myself, but can only theorize.  
The question is, if a premeasured (mass,volume,density) of salt and water are 
mixed together, and then seperated through distillation, would the resulting 
measurements equall the premeasured?  Also, if a certain number of salt 
grains, say 1000, were measured and mixed in the water, then seperated in the 
same manner, would the results yeild 1000 grains of salt?  Thank you for 
taking the time to view my question.  I hope to hear from you soon.
