Does fresh water have salt

Answer 1

No, fresh water does not contain salt. Fresh water is defined as water that has a low concentration of dissolved salts, typically less than 0.5 parts per thousand. This is in contrast to saltwater, such as that found in oceans, which has a much higher concentration of dissolved salts, around 35 parts per thousand.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, fresh water is like the opposite of salty. It's like the nice, friendly cousin of saltwater. Fresh water comes from rivers, lakes, and rain, and it's all about that pure H2O life, no saltiness involved. So, if you're thirsty and looking for a drink that won't make you feel like you just licked a beach, fresh water is where it's at.

Answer 3

Depends how much you put in it

Freshwater does not contain salt it is Hydrogen and Oxygen

Sea Water is full of it but it varies from sea to sea. for instance the the Dead sea contains so much salt that it is possible to float on top of it

Answer 4

fresh water has less then 0.5 parts per a thousand ( means if you put 0.5 salt in 1litre of water, that is how much salt there is )

ocean water has about 35 parts per thousand (means 35g of salt in 1L of water)

Answer 5

if you are referring to fresh water in streams, then yes it can have some salt, just much less than ocean water, which is usually referred to as salt water, and much less than the Great Salt Lake, or the Dead Sea which have an extremely high percentage of salt.

Answer 6

Actually, the amount of salt in "fresh" water can vary, depending on the source. If you need a number, the USGS defines fresh water as any water having a salinity less than 1 part per thousand (ppt), which translates to 1,000 mg/L (or, parts per million...ppm), which is 0.1% salt. It can be any salt—sodium chloride (NaCl), calcium chloride, potassium chloride, etc., but it's usually NaCl. You can analyze for either of the elements (sodium or chlorine), but analyzing for chloride is usually the most reliable indicator. It's a relatively inexpensive test, and eliminates possible interferences from other sodium compounds besides NaCl.

Answer 7

Fresh water does not contain salt. It typically comes from sources like rivers, lakes, and underground reservoirs and does not have a significant amount of dissolved salts.

Answer 8

There is no salt in fresh water that is only salt water hint "fresh water" lol =]

Actually that answer above is wrong. There's like .25% or something

Answer 9

below 1%

Answer 10

1000ppm
