Is mineral water a solution or a colloid?

Mineral water is a solution because it consists of dissolved mineral salts and gases in water, where the solute particles are molecular size and spread evenly throughout the solvent.


Is mineral water a mineral?

Water is not a mineral because it is not solid--except in Antarctica and Greenland, and on the moons of the outer planets. In these contexts it is considered a rock-forming mineral.The word mineral has several meanings, it can be used to refer to the chemically distinct solids formed by geolocical processes. Mineral can also be defined as in dietary mineral, in this context it is defined as ions which are needed for the body the function optimally. Water is a molecule which exists in a partially dissacosiated state and so technically it could be argued that water is to some degree a mineral. In reality the term dietary minerals is used to refer only to those ions required by the body in low concentrations and so water is not thought of as a mineral. The dry residue content of your mineral water is given in the labling and will provide information as to the actual mineral content of your mineral water. The mineral water itself is very weak solution of the minerals listed on the lable. There are normally many different minerals in a bottle of water and also in tap water.


Why is water a mineral?

Water is not considered a mineral because it is a compound composed of two different elements, hydrogen and oxygen. In order to be classified as a mineral, a substance must be naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, have a specific chemical formula, and possess a crystalline structure, which water lacks.


How do you get the specific gravity of a mineral?

Fill a beaker with water, and weigh it. Weigh a sample of the mineral. That's the mass of the mineral. Put the sample in the beaker and weigh that. The weight of the water-filled beaker plus the weight of the mineral sample will be greater than the weight of the beaker with mineral sample and water. The difference is the weight of the displaced water, in grams. The volume of the mineral sample, in cubic centimeters is equal to the weight of the displaced water, in grams. Calculate the specific gravity of the mineral by dividing the weight of the mineral sample by the volume of the mineral sample. Example: your beaker weighs 40 grams. Filled with water, it's 1040 grams. The sample of mineral weighs 160 grams. The beaker with the sample of mineral and water weighs 1179.7 grams. The mineral, and the beaker with water would have a combined weight of 1200 grams, but the beaker with mineral and water weighs 20.3 grams less than that, so the mineral sample is displacing 20.3 cubic centimeters of water. Given a mass of 160 grams and a volume of 2.03 CC, the specific gravity would be found by dividing 160 by 20.3. It's 7.85. (Which happens to be the specific gravity of some iron.)


What is difference between natural mineral water and mineral water?

I can give an answer to this question with respect to Sri Lankan regulations. There are two major types of drinking water. 1. Bottled drinking wate (some people call it mineral water) 2. Natural mineral water. 1. Bottled drinking water To produce this water you can treat your water chemically and physically. you can filter, aerate or you can do chemical kind of treatment such as orzonation. Ultra violet purification is also applicable. since orzonation and uv methods are applecable this is not called natural mineral water (Ref. SLS 894). 2. In producing Natural mineral water only allowable treatments are filtration, decantation and aeration only. if you do orzone or UV then it is not natural mineral water. you cant transport water to your facility in truck. filling has to be done in source (Ref. SLS 1038) The regulations identifying natural mineral water and bottled drinking water differ from country to country. above explained is how it is done in Sri Lanka and India. I have heard ( No reference) that in Japan to produce natural minera water they allwo heating, UV and orzonization. this is some thing i have heard only. Although this is not the full answere I think this will be help full for someone looking for an answer. Further inquiries: gaminifresh@yahoo.com
