High concentrations of chloride ions may result in an objectionable salty taste to water and the corrosion of Plumbing in the hot water system. High chloride waters may also produce a laxative effect. An upper limit of 250 mg/l has been set for the chloride ions, although at this limit few people will notice the taste. Higher concentrations do not appear to cause adverse health effects. An increase in the normal chloride content of your water may indicate possible pollution from human sewage, animal manure or industrial wastes.

Does chloride concentration increase with the seas depth?

Yes. Chloride concentration increases with the seas depth. This is because chloride increases the salinity of the water. The more saline the water, the denser it becomes. Dense water, even if it is slightly denser, tends to sink below.

What is the concentration of chloride ion in a 2.0M solution of calcium chloride?

CaCL2 on its own cannot have a concentration. It would have to be dissolved in a solution first. Then, from the amount of CaCl2 which is dissolved in a certain amount of a solute (such as water), you would be able to figure out the concentration.

What can sodium chloride do?

It can dehydrate a fruit or vegetable by passive transport. The higher concentration of water goes to the lower concentration and thereby "sucking" the water out of fruits and vegetables.
