Why cant filtering make sea water fit to drink?
Normal filtration can't remove salts because the ions to very small and can pass through most of the filtering medium. However, it is actually possible to filter out salts using Reverse Osmosis membrane and made a drinkable water.
Why does a solar-powered water still might be useful on a boat that has broken down at sea?
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.)
Why filtering cannot be used to make sea water fit to drink?
There are some key words that need to be recognized here and the first would be the word 'Filtering, the second 'Fit to drink'. The content of sea water that makes it unfit to drink is its high concentration of salt (sodium chloride) which in large amounts in deadly if consumed. So naturally making the the sea water fit to drink would obviously mean removing the salt (sodium chloride).The reason why filtering can't be used is because filtering is used to remove any solids, as the salt has dissolved it can't be removed via filtration.A method that is commonly used to remove salt (sodium Chloride) from water is to evaporate the sea water, leaving behind the salt in the form of salt chrystals. Remembering to place a cool surface above where the water is evaporating from, that way the water condenses and can be dripped into a new container.
How can one make sea water safe for consumption?
To make sea water safe for consumption, it needs to be desalinated through processes like distillation or reverse osmosis to remove salt and impurities. This results in fresh water that is safe to drink.
Is distilled sea water safe to drink?
No, distilled sea water is not safe to drink as it may still contain harmful salts and chemicals despite the distillation process. It is recommended to drink only water that has been purified through appropriate methods to ensure it is safe for consumption.
Where is fresh drinkable water NOT found?
the ocean or sea
How can get a drinkable water from sea water?
by eating donuts and milk smashh somee food yalll
What is the process of taking salt out of sea water and making it drinkable water?
The process is desalination.
When is distillation going to be used?
It is used today to make saltwater drinkable when you are at sea
How do you survive on a deserted island with a piece of metal?
put the metal on the floor bend it (curved) put sea water in it let the sun reflect on it (t will make the water drinkable) and do this when your thirsty
Is Dead sea water drinkable?
Yes it does but it tastes realy nasty and you can feel very ill.
Is there any chemicals in sea water tap water?
Sea water contain sodium chloride (approx. 35 g/L and other salts and impurities; the concentrations of impurities in treated drinkable tap water are very low.
Why will water treatment not make sea water drinkable ur answer is bolucks?
Well, salt is acidic and does anyone know how to get salt out of water yet?? Of all the people living in such countries, would there even be enough water for the fish to still live?? It's often hot around the 'seas' and salt probably cools them off like salt cools off a horse or cow or even a small pet, like a hamster or gerbil maybe.....
What does desalinate mean?
Desalination is the process of extraction of salts (generally sodium chloride) from sea water to obtain drinkable water, water for indistry, water for agriculture. But desalination can be applied to petroleum, soils an other materials.
What desalinization mean?
Desalination is the process of extraction of salts (generally sodium chloride) from sea water to obtain drinkable water, water for indistry, water for agriculture. But desalination can be applied to petroleum, soils an other materials.
Why does Saudi Arabia use desalinization?
Saudi Arabia is a vast desert. If desalinization was not used to turn the sea water on its borders into drinkable water, the population would die of thirst and dehydration.
Can all of the earths water be used for drinking?
no, human cannot drink from sea water directly, but desalinisation plants can remove the salt from sea water making it drinkable. It can be done now, but is very expensive to do, but in the future they might/will become more important and 'economical' to carry out.
