Distilled (desalinated) water is fresh water and is safe to drink. The sea water has been boiled (killing bacteria) and the water vapour (steam) condensed back to water. You may find that the water is actually rather tasteless. This is because you are to used to drinking tap water, to which chlorine and other chemicals have been added, which are not in the distilled water.
The distillation process removes all the salts and minerals, distilled water is therefore pure water and drinkable.
The molecules that are in the solid left behind after sea water is distilled and liquid is boiled off is sea salt. This is mostly NaCl but contains some other elements.
Distilled water hydrates people when taken internally and also rinses and may cool people when used externally. Distilled water is just a fancy way of saying "pure" or "almost pure" water. It is (for the most part) just H2O while tap, river, sea, lake, etc. water contains many other substances.
yes.. due to presence of salts the evaporation tendency of water becomes decreased....
For pure (distilled/deionized) water at sea level (standard pressure of 1 atmosphere), the boiling point is 212 degrees F.
Solar-Powered water still can be useful on a boat that has been broken down at the sea because you cannot drink sea water and you will die if you drink sea water all day long and can make still water by an inflatable object in picture E (Exploring Science, How science works, 8, by Mark Levesley.)
When sea water is boiled only the water turns to steam, the salt is left behind. Then when the steam condenses back into liquid you get clean, distilled water that is safe, if a bit bland to drink.

You can make sea water safe to drink by boiling it. This will get rid of all the minerals in the water. I hope this helps you. You have to catch the steam from the boiling, that's the only safe part.
Dead Sea also call the Salt Sea , it is the world saltiest sea in the world. Some people will ask can we drink the water , is it safe ?Ok, the water of dead sea is salty, some people can drink the water if they want. The taste of the water will be a thousand time salty.
No hermit crabs need distilled water for fresh water (which they drink), and need SEA salt water for them to bathe in (so the exoskeleton gets stronger)
Whales drink sea water and also get water from their food. They have special glands that remove most of the salt from the ocean water, making it safe for them to drink.
Rain water, distilled water, or whatever you happen to have on your boat or surface.
Sea water is not a homogeneous mixture.
No, it is not. Not only is the salinity far too high, but there is a large amount of bacteria in any ocean water.
It tastes like fresh water.
marine water is sea water/ salt water - this will kill the flower. Distilled water in this case is best.
YES! they need distilled water and sea salt water. dont use table salt it will blister hermies gills and kill them. Mix the right measure of sea salt and distilled water.
