Is water a solvent of salt?
Water is a very powerful SOLVENT. It will dissolve SALT ( sodium chloride) , the SOLUTE. When the solute is dissolved in the solvent it is called a SOLUTION. Sea water is a solution of salts and water. The principal salt is sodium chloride, however, there are plenty of other salts dissolved in sea-water, viz. sodium bromide, potassium chloride, potassium iodide, calcium carbonate. Also carbon dioxide dissolves in sea-water. These are just a few of the solutes in the solution named sea-water.
Is sea water an element mixture or a compound?
Sea water is a complex mixture of Sodium chloride, Sodium Bromide, micro-organisms, etc.
In sea water which salt is more sodium chloride or calcium?
sodium chloride is more
What are 5 things that may contain a salt?
epsom salts (i.e. magnesium sulfate)limestone (i.e. calcium carbonate)soaps (e.g. sodium stearate, potassium oleate)potassium iodidemonosodium glutamatesodium valproatecocaine nitrateammonium sorbatecopper sulfateferric chlorideferrous chloridebismuth subsalicatewashing soda (i.e. sodium carbonate)vinyl chloridelithium urateplutonium nitratebutyl acetatemethyl benzoateterpinyl butyrateestrone cyanateetc.
How does salt get from the sea?
By evaporation of water sodium chloride is obtained.
How does evaporation extract useful materials from sea water?
By evaporation of sea waters are produced sodium, potassium and magnesium chlorides, iodides, etc.
What comprises sea water?
It consists of magnesium bromide, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, sodium chloride, magnesium chloride and of course water.
What are the common salts found in salt water?
The concentrations of salts in waters are very variable and also the salt types; each water has a specific composition. For example sea/ocean water have approx. 35 g/L sodium chloride and treated tap water practically doesn't contain salts.
What compound are in sea water?
Sea water is mostly water and sodium chloride. However, other compounds that are present include potassium chloride, calcium carbonate, dissolved carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc..
Is mineral salt and sea salt the same?
Sea salt is derived from the evaporation of sea water. Mineral salt, on the other hand, are inorganic salts that include phosphate, calcium, chloride, sodium and potassium.
What is the composition of salt in the dead sea?
The Dead Sea water contain magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium chlorides and some bromides. See also the link below.

What salts is most abundant in seawater?
The most important salt in sea water is sodium chloride; other salts are chlorides of potassium, calcium and magnesium.
What is mined from the Dead Sea?
The main minerals in the dead sea are salt, magnesium, bromine, potassium and iodine
Is sea salt a source of potassium?
Yes. Sea salt contains 1.11% potassium, compared to 30.59% sodium (both by weight).Source: http://www.seafriends.org.nz/oceano/seawater.htm
Is the water in salt chlorinated pools like sea water?
Yes in most cases it is (Common salt or sodium chloride) only in a much lower concentration then found in sea water. There is a new system on the market however that uses Magnesium and potassium chloride.
What elements would you find in sea water?
Chlorine, Sodium, Magnesium, Sulphur, Calcium, Potassium, Bromine, Boron, Strontium and Silicon. Oh yeah...and Hydrogen and Oxygen.
