The mineral that will settle most slowly in water is typically one with a very low density and small particle size, such as clay minerals. These fine particles can remain suspended in water for extended periods due to their small mass and the effects of Brownian motion. Additionally, minerals like talc, which are light and flaky, will also settle slowly compared to denser minerals like quartz or feldspar.

nope, the opposite. Distilled water is water with most of the minerals removed (excpet probably a fair degree of Carbonate and sulfide), mineral water is water with extra minerals added.

What process relies the most on gravity?

The process that relies the most on gravity is sedimentation, where particles in a fluid settle at the bottom due to the force of gravity. This is commonly seen in processes like water treatment, where solids are allowed to settle out of the water.


What causes water heaters to go bad?

The two most common problems with water heaters is rust and calcification, or "scale". If you have hard water, or water with a high mineral content, the minerals (usually calcium) will cake and coat the base and the pipes, restricting water flow. In some cases, a thick layer of mineral crud will settle to the bottom of the water heater, insulating the water from the burners! This can cause the water to not get hot, or as hot as expected.
