How do you obtain salt from sea water?

Answer 1

Salt can either be obtained from the sea or mined from underground salt deposits. Traditional methods extract salt from sea or ocean water by letting water evaporate and collecting the residue which is natural and rich in minerals.

Answer 2

all you have to do is take a container and fill it with seawater. then you boil it until it completely evaporates. the only thing left in the container will be the salt from the water because it can't be evaporated. hope this helped.

Answer 3

Cooking salt (sodium chloride) is a mineral, which means it is found in mines.

Another method of obtaining salt is to collect sea water, which contains salt, and evaporate the water, so that only salt is left.

Answer 4

Buy it from the store. But if you want to make your own table salt, your best bet is not to combine solid sodium with gaseous chlorine, but to combine Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH), a base, with Hydrochloric acid (HCl). The products of the reaction between these two liquids will produce water (H2O) and table salt (NaCl). Such always happens with an acid-base reaction; water and a salt will always be formed. The particular acid and base that react will determine the salt that is formed.

Answer 5

Salt is obtained from sea water through a process called evaporation. Large amounts of sea water are collected and left to evaporate in large shallow ponds or pans. This allows the water to evaporate, leaving behind salt crystals that can then be harvested and processed for consumption or industrial use.

Answer 6

After water evaporation solid crystalline sodium chloride is obtained.

Answer 7

Halite is one of the most common minerals found in the crust of the earth. It is extracted by surface and below surface mining methods either by excavation or by blasting.

Answer 8

Ocean and sea
