Why does the salt remain in the sea?
Salt dissolve in water. Basically the sea is salty water.
Why didn't the salt stay dissolved in the little lake left by the sea?
The salt didn't stay dissolved in the lake because after a certain point water cannot dissolve any more salt. (That certain point is called saturation). And the salt in the sea was a lot more to dissolve in the small lake.
Does rock salt or sea salt dissolve faster?
Any difference exist.
Is a sea fresh or salt water?
Sea water is salt water.
Explain why large crystals of coarse sea salt take longer to dissolve in water than crystals of fine table salt?
Large crystals of coarse sea salt have a smaller surface area exposed to the water compared to fine table salt, which leads to slower dissolution. The smaller surface area of coarse salt slows down the rate at which water molecules can break down the salt crystals and dissolve them completely.
What is the differences between sea and water?
the water has no salt and the sea water has salt
Why can't salt dissolve in cold water?
It can - why do you think the sea is salty? It dissolves much, much quicker in hot water.
Did aliens pour salt into the ocean?
No! Of course not! There are many substances in sea water, salt being just one of them (but the most abundant). Minerals either dissolve in water or do not dissolve. Over many years, salt and other minerals (like potassium, magnesium and calcium cholrides, sulphates and bromides, as well as salt (sodium chloride)) dissolved in sea water to make the sea salty. The insoluble minerals were left behind that can still be dug out of the ground today (like chalk, gypsum, quartz etc).
What type of sharks can live in fresh water as well as salt water?
there are two type of sharks sea or salt water sharks live in the sea wherelse fresh water sharks are available in aquarium shops , fresh water sharks are smaller in size about 12 cm in length
Is the Sea salt water?
Yes, the sea does contain salt water.
What is the source for the salts that make up the salinity of the oceans?
It come originally from element inside the earth. Rock is considerable form of metal salt. Salt in the sea is not only NaCl (Sodium chloride), there are MgCl2, CaCl2 (Magnesium and Calcium salt) and trace metal in these salt element. Those salt of metal that can be dissolve just simply dissolve in water. Those that can't dissolve is rock.
Can salt dissolve in freezing water?
Indeed this is a natural process. The salt crystals are of a different shape and density to those of water ice, and thus the salt will not be incorporated in sea water freezing. In the Antarctic, this salt is redeposited into the sea water, thus making it hyper-saline as well as dense. AND the sea water into which it becomes dissolved, becomes much colder than the remainder of the seawater, because the salt dispelled from the surface ice will be much colder than the bulk seawater. This then forms a hyper-saline current that is an important driver of oceanic mixing, and climate control.
