Why is salt water and fresh water the same?
Salt water is salty because of chemicals that are dissolved in the water. The water is still H2O, the same as fresh water.
Which is lighter fresh or salt water?
Fresh water (of the same temperature) has the lower density ('lighter').
is the water salt water or fresh water?
this depends on where the water is, if its in a swamp in the everglades it is considered brackish which is both salt and fresh water, in the ocean the water is salt water, if your at a lake, pond, or stream then it is fresh water, and if you are talking about water in a salt water pool the water isnt really salt water it just has chemicals to have the same effect.
What is the differencein pressure between salt water and fresh water at different depths?
Currents and thermal gradients aside, salt water is slightly more dense than fresh water, so (at the same depth, for the same temperature) the pressure in salt water will be creater than for fresh water. The difference in pressure will be (pressure in fresh water) x (density of salt water/density of fresh).
Does ice melt faster in fresh or salt water?
Salt water. The salt makes it melt faster, than pure fresh water.That is rubbish. Salt crystals may be spread onto ice to melt it (causing a drop in temperature too). A mixture of crushed ice and salt is commonly used as a "freezing mixture" in the laboratory. However, a lump of ice (of a given mass and temperature) will not melt at any appreciably different rate in a bath of salty water than in a bath of fresh water at the same temperature. This is because the thermal conductivity of salty water is only very slightly greater than that of fresh water, but the thermal capacity of salty water is less than that of fresh water, so any effects due to these differences tend to cancel each other out. The main factor that would influence the rate of melting would be the temperature of the water bath. Some experiments have shown that if the bath water is salty enough, the bath water is more dense than any cold, recently-melted water from the ice cube and thus there will be no convection currents which might carry heat away quicker than by conduction alone, from which the obvious conclusion is that the ice should melt quicker in fresh water.
Will fresh water or salt evaporate faster?
At the same temperature fresh water evaporates faster.
What is the rate of fresh water evaporation compared to salt water?
the same. the salt isn't evaporated, only the h2o, so fresh and salt water evaporate the same unless there is another liquid in one of the two types of water.
Does an ice cube melt faster in saltwater or fresh water?
Salt water: because salt lowers the freezing point of water, less water will freeze onto the ice cube, while the same amount of ice will dissolve into the water. This means that overall, the salt water will thaw it quicker. we recantly did a experiment in science class where there was a bucket of salt water and a bucket of fresh water (same temperatures) and in each bucket was an ice cube the ice cube in the fresh water melted faster because in salt water there are more perservatives and has more minerals therefore it is more dense and the ice will float closer to the top while the ice cube in the fresh water floats more lower. but i could be wrong
Is salt the same as ice melt?
no, but ice melt is a salt
Why does salt water make stuff float than fresh water?
Salt water has a greater density than fresh water. So the same object will foat higher in salt water than in fresh, and some things will foat in salt water that are too dense to float in fresh water.
What is the same and different between fresh water and salt water?
Salt water contain dissolved sodium chloride; chemical and physical properties are different compared with fresh water.
Does the sun heat fresh water and salt water at the same time?
The sun heats both fresh water and salt water through a process called solar radiation. However, salt water has a higher heat capacity and can hold more heat than fresh water. This means that salt water will heat up more slowly than fresh water, but it will also retain heat for a longer period of time. In general, both types of water will eventually reach the same temperature when exposed to the same amount of sunlight.
