Is ocean water a solute and solvent?
salt is the solute, and the water's the solvent.
How do the material that makes water salty enter into the waterway?
The material that makes water salty is, you guessed it, salt! When various minerals are chemically weathered, they release there various constituents, and these then travel, dissolved in water, into the ocean. The water in the ocean then evaporates, rains, and flows back into the ocean loaded with more salt. The effect of this is to increase the concentration of salt in the ocean such that it seems "salty" to us.
Is salt and water a solution or a mixture?
Salt goes into solution in water. That makes a salt and water solution of salt water, unless there is too much salt to completely dissolve in the water. In that case, it will be a mixture of salt and salt water.Saltwater is technically both a solution and a mixture, since all solutions are mixtures, or physical rather than chemical combinations of substances. However, the more narrow use of the term "mixture" excludes both solutions and alloys.
Is sugar a solution?
No, sugar is not a solution. Sugar water is a solution of sugar and water, but sugar itself is not.
Is sea water passed through a sieve solution?
Sea water is a solution.
What makes the ocean a solution?
Yes, because ocean water has many dissolved substances and the atoms of different substances do join together.
Is ocean water a compound mixture solution or element?
It's a solution!!!!
Is ocean water mixture or solution?
solution
Salty ocean water is an example of what type of substance?
salty ocean water is a solution.
What is in the ocean water solution?
The major solute in ocean water is sodium chloride - NaCl.
Is ocean water a solution or a suspension?
Water is a chemical compound.
Is water a element compound mixture or solution?
Ocean water is a mixture.
Is the ocean a solution because it is a mixture of salts and water?
Ocean water is in fact a homogeneous mixture of salt and water however it is a solution because the solute (salt) dissolves and assumes the phase of the solvent (water).
Why sea or ocean is important of being a solution?
water
Is the ocean a solution because it is a homogeneous mixture of salt and water?
Ocean water is in fact a homogeneous mixture of salt and water however it is a solution because the solute (salt) dissolves and assumes the phase of the solvent (water).
Is ocean a solution because it is homogeneous mixture of salts and water?
Ocean water is in fact a homogeneous mixture of salt and water however it is a solution because the solute (salt) dissolves and assumes the phase of the solvent (water).
Is the ocean a solution because of its homogeneous mixture of salts and water?
Ocean water is in fact a homogeneous mixture of salt and water however it is a solution because the solute (salt) dissolves and assumes the phase of the solvent (water).
