Sea water can be used to obtain salt because water is a solvent, and sea water is generally near saturation. Because the water is full of salt, which does not evaporate, when the water evaporates, salt crystals are left behind. Essentially, you are not obtaining salt from the sea water, but removing the water from the sea salt.
What else can I help you with?
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
Is the ocean water more salty or less salty near the North pole and South pole?
Ocean water is generally less salty near the North and South Poles due to the melting of ice, which dilutes the salinity. Additionally, cold temperatures limit the evaporation of water, which contributes to lower salinity levels in polar oceans.
What describes how salty sea water is?
Sea water is typically around 3.5% salt by weight, or 35 parts per thousand. This salinity can vary based on location and factors like evaporation and precipitation. It is this salt content that gives sea water its characteristic salty taste.
What process makes some lakes salty?
Lakes become salty if the source of water flowing into the lake contains salt and the salty water cannot flow out of the lake. Salt lakes are endorheic, water leaves the lake by evaporation and leaves the salt and minerals in the remaining water.
What percantage of the water is salty?
92% of the water is salty.
Will salty water still be salty after dry ice has evaporated?
1. The term evaporation is not adequate for dry ice (solid carbon dioxide); the correct term is sublimation.2. Water remain salty.
How do you get salt from salty water without evaporation?
Distillation is a method, but it is also based on boiling and condensation.
Why aren't clouds salty?
Clouds are formed due to the large scale evaporation of the earth's water. During the evaporation process the salt is left behind.
Why backwaters are not salty?
Insufficient evaporation.
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
Which one has less salty water the Mediterranean Sea or the Dead Sea?
The Mediterranean Sea is less salty than the Dead Sea. The Dead Sea is the saltiest water on earth because of the high level of evaporation.
Is The Great Salt Lake salty because it is so close to the ocean?
No.The reason it is so salty is because it only leaves the lake through evaporation and the water leaves the salt behind.
Is the ocean water more salty or less salty near the North pole and South pole?
Ocean water is generally less salty near the North and South Poles due to the melting of ice, which dilutes the salinity. Additionally, cold temperatures limit the evaporation of water, which contributes to lower salinity levels in polar oceans.
What processes makes some inland lake salty?
evaporation
How does evaporation also make water saltier?
Evaporation - removes water... leaving behind salt crystals. The less water there is - the greater the concentration of salt.
The meditterranean sea is very salty. Does evaporation exceed precipitation or does preceipitation exceed evaporation over the mediterranean sea?
Evaporation exceeds precipitation.
What describes how salty sea water is?
Sea water is typically around 3.5% salt by weight, or 35 parts per thousand. This salinity can vary based on location and factors like evaporation and precipitation. It is this salt content that gives sea water its characteristic salty taste.
