It is believed that the world's water derives largely from the impact of comets, earlier in the history of the planet. The salt consists of soluble ionic compounds that were already present in the Earth's crust before the water arrived.
The Dead Sea has a high concentration of salt because it has no outlet for water to flow out. Water evaporates from the sea, leaving behind minerals like salt, which become more concentrated over time.
Salt dissolved in water forms a solution. A solution is a homogeneous mixture where the solute (salt) is evenly distributed in the solvent (water) at a molecular level. Each component retains its properties and can be separated through physical means.
Saturated salt water freezes at a lower temp than saturated sugar water, which freezes at a lower temp than plain water. So plain water will freeze first then sugar water then salt water. Thank you QUIRKIE @ answerbag.com
Approximately 97% of the Earth's surface is covered by salt water.
Below zero. How much below depends on the salt concentration.
Salt does not evaporate with water, so all the salt that was initially in the water remains behind once the water has evaporated. This is because salt has a much higher boiling point than water and remains in solid form when the water evaporates.
The amount of salt water you get will depend on the concentration of salt in the water. When you mix salt with water, the salt dissolves into the water to increase its volume slightly. The overall volume of the salt water will be the sum of the volumes of the original salt and water components.
there is approximately 2,89%of salt in the Mississippi river!
Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water, so it typically takes longer for salt water to freeze compared to fresh water. This is because the presence of salt lowers the freezing point of water.
No, salt does not evaporate in boiling water. When water boils, it turns into steam, leaving behind the salt in the water. Salt does not have a low enough boiling point to evaporate along with the water.
because it has so much salt in it, it is nearly impossible for life to, well, live in it.
Pure and dried salt has no water.
Eggs float in salt water and sink in fresh water because salt water is more dense. Density is a measure of how much 'matter' is in a certain space, adding salt to water adds 'matter' so makes it more dense. The Dead Sea is 33% salt so even people who can't swin can float in it.
It means that the water already absorbed as much salt as it could and can't fit anymore so the extra salt just sinks.
This depends on the concentration of this salt water.
Depending on how much salt you add to the water and how warm the water is... the salt will disolve
You boil the salt water so the water evaporates, leaving salt.
