How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?

For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.

How speed of sound of pure water compare with the speed of sound in ocean water?
In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s. The speed of sound in seawater depends on pressure (hence depth), temperature (a change of 1 °C ~ 4 m/s),and empirical equations have been derived to accurately calculate sound speed from these variables. In pure water the speed of sound is less than in ocean water.
Would ice bergs melt faster if the oceans were pure water?
Yes, because saline water has low freezing point as compare to distilled water or pure water.
How does water help speed metal rusting?
Because of the chemical compounds found in liquids like seawater...make them better electrolytes than pure water.
What is the difference between bottled spring water and distilled water, and which tastes best?
The water in my area sometimes tastes odd. What is considered the better choice in terms of pure drinking water? How does bottled spring water compare to distilled water? Whats the difference between the two?
Is pure water is a pure substance?
yes,water, sugar, gold, ect are all pure substances

Why pure air is not a conductive compare to pure water?
The ultrapure water is not conductive.
Does sound go faster through water or oxygen?
One should note that air is not pure Oxygen, rather it is about 21% oxygen, with most of the remainder being Nitrogen (and less than .04% CO2) According to Wikipedia: The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s The speed of sound in water is 1,482 m/s So, sound travels faster through water than air.
Would ice bergs melt faster if the oceans were pure water?
Yes, because saline water has low freezing point as compare to distilled water or pure water.
Is water magnetic does it conduct heat and sound and electricity?
Pure water is NOT magnetic, a poor conductor of electricity, but good in sound and heat.
Based on the pH chart How does cola compare to pure water?
There is no chart provided, thus cola cannot be compared to pure water. However, cola generally contains more H+ ions than pure water.
How does cola compare to pure water on a pH scale?
Coca-Cola has a pH under 7.
Why ganga river water remain pure but other river water don't?
Since ganga river is one of the river generating from Himalayas ,is can flow for everytime.so that compare to the other river is pure
How will the vapor pressure of pure water compare to an aqueous solution of sodium chloride?
The solution's vapor pressure will be lower.

pure sodium
What is the definition of pure speed?
pure speed is what you provide without endurance enhancing medication
How do compare the volume of sugar solution and pure water?
The properties of sugar and water alone is a liquid and a solid. The properties of sugar-water solution is a liquid.
