because saltwater fish need cold water and saltwater
How do you turn saltwater into freshwater?
you take a bin put a cloth over the bin ,then you pour salt water on the cloth ,then you set it in the sun and let it evaporate into freshwater.
How long does salt last in salt water fish tanks?
Forever. The problem is, the water evaporates...and it doesn't take the salt with it. You need a hydrometer to test the specific gravity of your water so you know when to add more freshwater. (That sounds strange, but it's true: freshwater dilutes the saltwater so your fish don't die.)
Why does salt take longer to boil than water?
Surprisingly, water with a high salt content boils faster than pure water. Salt water may have a higher boiling point than freshwater, but because it takes less energy to increase the temperature of salt water (due to the salt requiring very little energy to heat) the salt water boils faster.
Do goldfish live in deep water?
No. Goldfish are freshwater fish. Ocean is saltwater. Take a freshwater fish and put it in a saltwater environment and the higher density of the water will generally crush the internal organs of the fish. There are a few fish who can go into either and a type of water called brackish water where it is a mixture of fresh and salt that hosts different types of fish.
Is their a freshwater sea?
No because the salt water can take the pressure of the core under the earth, if there was a fresh water sea the water wouldn't be able to hold the pressure and instead of a sea it would be a gaping void in the earth.
How is fresh water obtained?
Very few water bottle companies will actually go to a fresh water area, *ahem* poland spring and bottle the freshwater to go for sale. Only 1% of the world has freshwater reserves while the rest is salt water. Oh you say you were asking about how it is obtained? Companies take a boat or plane to the freshwater reserve, take some sterile plastic bottles, and sell them to the market. Some actually put chemicals and other harmful substances in the water so it isn't really freshwater.
What happens when saltwater and freshwater meet?
It is not clear what you are asking. Perhaps this will help. !f you take a liter of pure fresh water and weigh it, it will weigh 1000 grams (a kilogram). If you then add 10 grams of salt to the water and stir the salt until it has all dissolved and measure the volume of the now salty water, the volume of the salt water will still measure exactly one liter. However if you weigh the liter of salt water it will weigh 1010 grams. This means that there are now more particles (atoms) occupying the same space - the DENSITY of the salt water is higher than the fresh water.
What state turns saltwater into freshwater?
do you mean the state or state of matter? well, this takes two steps. 1. evaporation to take away the salt from the water. 2. codensation to get the purified water vapor back to pure water
What makes freshwater freshwater?
To make more freshwater... If I remember correctly, you take saltwater and boil that so the "salt" and other contaminants are gone to be able to drink it. Not so sure of any other ways..
A salmon moves from a saltwater ocean to a freshwater river what takes place in the salmons cell as it moves?
The cells take in salt to balance the solute concentration-apex
