Similarities between salt water and freshwater?
Seawater is water from a sea or ocean On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% (35 g/L, or 599 mM). This means that every kilogram (roughly one liter by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salt (predominantly sodium chloride iron: Na+, Cl−). The average density of seawater at the ocean surface is 1.025 g/gm Seawater is denser than both fresh water and pure water (density 1.0 g/ml @ 4 °C (39 °F)) because the dissolved salts add mass without contributing significantly to the volume. The freezing point of sea water decreases as salt concentration increases. At a typical salinity it freezes at about −2 °C (28.4 °F). The coldest sea water ever recorded (in a liquid state) was in 2010, in a stream under an Antarctic glacier, and measured −2.6 °C (27 °F
Why does applying rock salt to an icy sidewalk hasten the melting process?
Salt water melts at a lower temperature than pure water, so if the temperature is just slightly below freezing, near 32°F (or 0 °C), then putting salt on the ice will cause the ice to melt. However, if the temperature is really really cold (like -40 °C, which it turns out is the same as -40°C!), then putting salt won't make much difference. Also, the rock salt used also does provide some traction as the rough salts makes the ice less slippery (in the same way that piece of gravel or sand would work).
Area located at the boundary between a freshwater biome and a marine biome?
An estuary is the area between freshwater biomes and marine biomes. The waters are brackish and have some of the same characteristics of each biome.
What is the meaning of Quincy in French?
It's the same as English.
Are customer satisfaction and customer loyalty the same in meaning?
No
Can tropical fish go in the same tank as marine fish?
No! marine fish are salt water fish and tropicals are fresh water fish, this cannot be changed.
Why can't marine fish survive at a fresh water aquarium?
Some marine fish can live in fresh water. But most marine fish are adapted to salt water; because of the salt in the water their body needs to do things differently, and they are used to being in salt water. If you put them in fresh water, their body can't do the same thing, therefore most of them die. For more information, see the related question.
What is the sea like?
The sea is the same thing as the ocean. It is the biggest body of water, and is salt water. Many species of marine life live in it.
Is water with added salt the same as ocean salt water?
Only if the concentration is the same.
Will pure water have the same density as salt water?
No, salt water is denser.
Does rock salt dissolve in water?
Yes. Rock salt, which is largely the same as table salt, will dissolve in water.
Is marine water like ocean water?
They are the same thing.
What is the same with salt and water?
Salt and water form a saline solution.
Are marine engineers the same as a marine biologist?
No they are not the same thing a Marine biologist studies the animals and plants in the ocean while a Marine engineer fixes things in the water.
Why is salt water and fresh water the same?
Salt water is salty because of chemicals that are dissolved in the water. The water is still H2O, the same as fresh water.
When salt is dissolved in water what stays the same?
the taste stays the same because when you drink the salt water it taste exactly the same
What is the freezing point of hot salt water?
Same as the cold salt water.
