Why will water treatment not make sea water drinkable?
Water treatment processes used for drinking water are not typically designed to handle the high levels of salt found in seawater. Desalination is a separate process used specifically to remove salt from seawater to make it drinkable.
What is the process for purifying sea water?
Sea water can be purified through desalination processes like reverse osmosis or distillation. In reverse osmosis, pressure is used to push water through a semi-permeable membrane to separate salt and impurities from the water. Distillation involves heating sea water to create steam, which is then condensed back into a liquid, leaving salt and impurities behind.
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.
What are the two main source of salt?
The two main sources of salt are natural deposits in salt mines and sea water. Salt can be harvested from salt mines through mining and from sea water through the process of evaporation.
How does salt get from the sea?
By evaporation of water sodium chloride is obtained.
Does Salt separate from sea water when frozen?
yes
How would you separate the sand and salt from a sample of sea water?
<p>You can separate the sand by filtration, but still the salt (mainly sodium chloride) is dissolved in the water. Then, you can separate the salt from water by distillation. The liquid you collect after water vapor is chilled is distilled water. You can use other methods to separate sand as sedimentation (usually slower than filtration) and salt as reverse osmosis.<p>
Why should you separate salt from salt water?
1. Because salted water is not a drinking water. 2. Because salt is an important product obtained from sea waters.
Can salt separate from water?
The easiest way to extract salt from water is to boil it until all the water has evaporated, which leaves the salt behind. This is the process used in "Sea Salt" production.

What would happend if there was no salt in the ocean?
All the salt water fish would die and there would be no sea salt
Can evaporation separate a dissolved solid from water?
Yes, it is true; this is a method to obtain salt from sea water.
What is the process to separate the salt seawater into fresh water to become energy?
Desalination is the process to change the salt sea water into fresh water to become energy.
How can you separate sand water and salt?
Separate the sand grains using a fine mesh. Separate salt from the water by using evaporation (leaving the salt crystals behind), and condensation (turning the evaporated water vapor back into a liquid).
Can you raise sea urchins in your salt water aquarium?
You can raise a sea urchin in a salt-water aquarium. There are no fresh water sea urchins so you would need a salt-water aquarium to properly care for the urchin.
What physical properties are used to separate the mixture of sea water and salt?
That would probably depend on how you separate them. For example, if you want to use reverse osmosis, then the salt molecules don't go through the filter as easily as the water molecules - either because they are bigger or because of their electric charge.
Is a sea fresh or salt water?
Sea water is salt water.
