I boil tap water in three gallon stainless steel container and each time the water cools a fair amount of white mineral precipitates - Ca + Mg - collecting on the interior surface of the container, also a fai amount freely precipitates and collects at the bottom of the container. I have drank the water for years.
What else can I help you with?
What processes control whether or not a mineral will precipitate from an aqueous solution?
The two variables are the concentration of that mineral in the solution and the solubility of that mineral in water. If the concentration of the mineral is higher than its solubility in water, some of the mineral will precipitate out of solution.
How fast does boiled water cool down?
Boiled water cools down at a rate of about 1 degree Celsius per minute when left at room temperature.
Can you use mineral water instead of boiled water?
Depends on what do you use it for. Generally, yes, you can.
How do mineral form from a hot water solution?
The hot water solution cools, and the mineral compound leaves and forms minerals.
Can the size of a container affect how fast boiled water cools?
Yes, assuming the amount of water stays the same.
What is it called when water-rich solutions carrying metallic salts fill cracks and form?
This process is known as hydrothermal mineral deposition, where hot water carrying dissolved minerals seeps into cracks in rocks or other surfaces. As the solution cools and evaporates, the minerals precipitate out and form crystals.
How do minerals form from hot water solutions?
The hot water solution cools, and the mineral compound leaves and forms minerals.
When heated mineral-rich water seeps into cracks in the Earth cools and crystallizes as minerals an can form what?
A vien
How did mineral deposits get there?
Superheated water forces its way into rock faults. It contains many dissolved minerals which crystallise out when the water cools.
Why should stock not be boiled?
because all the water seperates from the seasoning and goes to the bottem. Then you have to wait until it cools off for it to be mixed again.
How do minerals form from hot solutions?
The hot water solution cools, and the mineral compound leaves and forms minerals.
How did vein mineral deposit get there?
Superheated water forces its way into rock faults. It contains many dissolved minerals which crystallise out when the water cools.
