Is water minerals or not?

Minerals are solid substances. Liquid water is not a mineral, but naturally occurring ice, is a mineral. The definition of a mineral requires it be naturally occurring so, artificially frozen ice in your freezer isn't a mineral.

Is mineral water an element mixture or compound?

Mineral water contains other elements or compounds too. They contain elements and compounds like Sodium, magnesium,macro nutrients,calcium and other minerals. So mineral water is a mixture of compounds.


How mineral water does differ from distilled water?

mineral water contains salts. Distilled water does not contain any salts, it's just water. And bottled water comes in a bottle. As a "food" item I expect it has to pass food safety standards, but otherwise it could be anything. Mineral water is water that has had minerals dissolved into it as a result of being stored underground. Spring water is mineral water for example. Depending on where the mineral water has come from effects the mineral content of the water. Distilled water on the other hand has been distilled. That mean it has been turned into steam, then the steam is allowed to cool turning it back into water in a clean container. What happens as a result is that only the water turns into steam leaving the mineral content behind giving you pure water with no mineral content.


Why is the ice in glacier considered a mineral but the water in a river is not considered a mineral?

Ice in a glacier meets the requirements for being a mineral, because it is natural, homogeneous, solid and crystalline, and has a definite chemical fomula. River water is liquid and therefore also not crystalline, so it is not a mineral. If and when the river water freezes into ice (naturally), that ice is a mineral.

Is mineral water a mineral?

Water is not a mineral because it is not solid--except in Antarctica and Greenland, and on the moons of the outer planets. In these contexts it is considered a rock-forming mineral.The word mineral has several meanings, it can be used to refer to the chemically distinct solids formed by geolocical processes. Mineral can also be defined as in dietary mineral, in this context it is defined as ions which are needed for the body the function optimally. Water is a molecule which exists in a partially dissacosiated state and so technically it could be argued that water is to some degree a mineral. In reality the term dietary minerals is used to refer only to those ions required by the body in low concentrations and so water is not thought of as a mineral. The dry residue content of your mineral water is given in the labling and will provide information as to the actual mineral content of your mineral water. The mineral water itself is very weak solution of the minerals listed on the lable. There are normally many different minerals in a bottle of water and also in tap water.

Can minerals be liquids?

No. A mineral must be solid to be a mineral. For example, liquid water is not a mineral. Frozen water, or ice, is a mineral.
