The concentration of solutes increase after evaporation.


Does ocean water have all of the properties of salt?

No, because ocean water is not salt. Ocean water does have salt dissolved in it, but there are distinct chemical and physical differences. First, ocean water is not crystalline while salt is. Second, ocean water is a solution with many different solutes while salt is a pure compound.


What is the solute and solvent in the ocean?

The water is the solvent; all other dissolved substances, including gases are solutes.


Does water dissolve into all solutes?

No, water does not dissolve into all solutes. Some solutes, such as nonpolar molecules like oil, do not dissolve in water because they are not attracted to the polar water molecules.

What are deposits that form from minerals dissolved in ocean water?

Generically, they are called "rime". Primary constituents are salt, with other solutes being metal oxides and such.


What is it called when water molecules moves from low concentration of solutes to high concentrations of solutes?

Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.

Why does evaporation increase in density of ocean water?

Because the salt doesn't freeze out with the ice. This leaves the sea water saltier, hence more dense.


All the water evaporated from the solution in the dish What was left in the dish?

If all the water evaporated, what was left in the dish would be the solutes that were dissolved in the water, such as salts or sugars. These solutes do not evaporate with the water and remain behind in the dish once the water has all evaporated.
