It is better to use the muddy puddle water than the seawater because of the salt
What is the most dense pure water at 1 degree Celsius pure water at 4 degrees or seawater?
Seawater, then pure @ 4 degrees C.
Is seawater a solution mechanical mixture or pure substance?
A solution.
What are the six ions in seawater?
The four MAIN IONS in seawater in descending order of abundance are: CI: Chloride Na: Sodium SO4: Sulfate Mg: magnesium Found in Leckie-Yuretich: Investigating the Ocean, Page 114, Seawater Salinity: The salt of the Ocean
What is organic material?
It is dissolved salts, gases, and nutrients that are presented in seawater.
Is not a process that decrease the salinity of seawater?
evaporation
Which is not a process the decreases the salinity of seawater?
Evaporation is a process that increases the salinity of seawater, not decreases it. Other processes that decrease the salinity of seawater include precipitation, melting of icebergs, and the input of freshwater from rivers.
What is one factor that decreases salinity in seawater?
Salinity in oceans decrease when near a river because the river adds fresh water, which lowers the percentage of salt in the water, causing the salinity to decrease.
Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation and .?
Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation and the freezing of seawater into sea ice. Evaporation causes the water volume to decrease while the salinity stays the same, increasing density. Sea ice formation removes freshwater, leaving behind denser saltwater.
Is a Seawater a mineral?
Seawater is water with salt in it
Which has a higher concentration of salt a tablespoon of seawater or a swimming pool with a bucket of seawater?

Why is salt a solute in seawater?
Yes, salt is a solute in seawater. Water is the solvent, salt is one of the solutes, and the solution is seawater.
Does sea water conduct electricity?
Yes, seawater is a good conductor of electricity due to the presence of dissolved salts and minerals, which dissociate into ions that can carry electric current. This property makes seawater a potential hazard for electrical systems in marine environments.
