How does sodium and chloride ions get into sea water?
Sodium and chloride ions enter seawater primarily through the weathering of rocks and minerals on land. When rainwater, which is slightly acidic, erodes these rocks, it releases sodium and chloride ions, which are then transported to rivers and eventually flow into the ocean. Additionally, hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor also contribute to the influx of these ions by releasing mineral-rich fluids. Finally, human activities, such as agricultural runoff and industrial processes, can also introduce sodium and chloride into seawater.
What salts or minerals come from rocks?
Examples: sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium phosphates, sodium nitrate etc.
What rocks have salt in them?
Sodium chloride is not a rock: in the nature NaCl exist as the mineral halite.
Are rocks salt?
Rock salt is sodium chloride, NaCl.
How is the ocean made salty?
Salt in oceans comes from rocks that are found on land. When rain pours down, it erodes the rocks and carries the dissolved sediments down streams and rivers. These sediments eventually end up in the ocean, making the water salty because they contain chloride and sodium ions.
How can sodium chloride be formed in Antarctica?
- Antarctica hasn't rocks on the surface and rivers to trasport salt. - Ice has an extremely low concentration of sodium chloride.
Do rocks like limestone contain sodium chloride?
no. It does not.I came across this question in a chemistry homework and found a good site wich told me the awnsers.Here is a link:What_chemicals_are_found_in_rocks_like_limestonehope this helped :)
What type of atom is in sodium chloride?
Sodium chloride has two atoms in the formula unit (NaCl): sodium and chlorine.
Which substance is a compound carbon chloride sodium chloride sodium?
Sodium chloride is a compound.
Is sodium chloride carcinogenic?
Sodium chloride is not a cause of cancer.
Why is sodium chloride different from sodium chloride crystals in its electricity conductivity?
Solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.Sodium chloride in water solutions or molten sodium chloride are electrolytes.
What does Sodium chloride have?
Sodium chloride is formed from sodium and chlorine.
