because salt water contains high levels of salt, which acts to dehydrate your cells in your body, therefore consuming it actually gives you less water, as opposed to fresh water with no salt in it.
Because the salt intake from the sea water will increase the OSMOLALITY of the blood. Diffusion is the reason he will die faster because the water in his tissues will leave to decrease the concentration of salt in the blood. He will become increasingly dehydrated.
Because the moved their ships quickly
Water could be poisonous as some hard metals would dissolve into in with out the presence of DO. As well, fish and aquatic plant would die if there was no oxygen. Drinking water would not taste as good either. A good thing that could occur would be that pipes would not corrode as quickly.
to maintain natural fluids in your body Well, the reason we drink water is because without water our body wouldn't be working well, your kidneys would die, and you would dehidrate quickly. Dont Question Me Im Only 11 And I was Taught By The best
No lake water we would have died.
I would suggest buying bottled water, drinking city tap water or by mixing a little dirt and grime in there. That should prevent you from drinking clean water.
Though it's extremely rare, drinking too much water too quickly can be fatal. I don't know how much is too much and it would vary by individual
Unless it was a human made water fall and the water gets purified you would want to boil and clean the water before drinking the water.
it contains salt which holds water in its grains so it will dehydrate you. also salt is not good for you insides and most likely you would throw up salty water very quickly and therefore dehydrate yourself even more.
no it would just taste bad...and be similar to drinking bread!
Ironically, despite drinking water his body will dehydrate. Salt water contains a high content of salt, much higher than in a human body. The kidneys can't deal with such a high amount of salt (actually sodium chloride). Thus the sodium concentration in the blood will raise and raise the more salt water he trinks, until it has reached a toxic level. Then the salt will detract the water from all the cells. The result is fatal, the sailor would die.It is possible to drink some salt water, but only when enough fresh water is available to balance what the salt detracts from the body.
Mainly to store drinking water
That the would die
