What else can I help you with?
Why are minerals that are highly water soluble difficult to find in large deposits or are found only in dry regions?
There is a lot of water on earth. A lot of it. And it is continually recycled. It has a tendency to wash anything that is water soluble into the ocean, where it remains dissolved as the water cycle continues. This has been happening for millions and millions of years, and a lot of water soluble minerals have been dissolved in seawater over that time.In contrast, we can find water soluble minerals in dry regions. In places where it is extremely arid, there is so little precipitation that the water soluble minerals haven't been dissolved and washed away like they have been in other regions.
What does hard water do?
Hard water refers to water (H2O) that contains a relatively high concentration of dissolved mineral salts, such as magnesium and calcium. These dissolved salts are often undesirable, as they can precipitate as insoluble solids, causing mineral buildup.
Why is hard water undesirable?
Couple of reasons, "Hard" water- water with a lot of dissolved minerals- usually calcium, does not work with with soaps or detergents. It is hard to "lather" with hard water, and you use more cleaning product to get the same effect. Second, the minerals can be deposited in pipes, fixtures and appliances, clogging or wearing them prematurely.
What is lot of solute?
This a mixture of solutes dissolved in a solvent.
Does the air above the sea contain a lot of water vapor or only a little?
The air above the sea typically contains a lot of water vapor due to evaporation from the water surface. The amount of water vapor in the air can vary depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed.
Why don't we drink sea water?
It is because sea water contains a lot of salt dissolved in it which will make us sick
Is sterile irrigation water safe to use in CPAP machine?
That depends on how the water was sterilized. The thing you want to avoid is dissolved minerals, which can build up in the humidifier of the CPAP. Distilled water is recommended because dissolved minerals cannot cross the distillation process. Other forms of "purification" such as filtering or semi-permeable membranes can leave minerals dissolved in the water.Products sold as "Sterile water" (especially for contact lenses) are frequently sterile saline solution, and should NOT be used in a CPAP.

What is a potato made out of?
80% water and 20% starch and protein. The solid matter contains a lot of vitamins and minerals.
Why oceanic water absorb so many minerals in it?
Ocean water absorbs a lot of minerals because water is such an excellent solvent for so many substances. Combine with that, the abundance of existing dissolved materials that can form soluble salts with many existing minerals and you have an excellent environment for dissolving minerals that start out as oxides.
Is seawater a pure substance or a mixture?
Seawater is a mixture. It is a combination of salt and water that is a homogeneous mixture. An example of a pure substance is either pure salt or pure sugar.
What does river water contain?
River water contains a lot of things like fish. River water also contains bacteria, leaves, and minerals from the riverbed.
When would you use a water softener and what does it do?
When water is hard, meaning it contains more minerals than ordinary water, you would want to use a water softener. Water softeners remove minerals from hard water, which would normally clog drains. Water softeners are normally used if water contains a lot of calcium and magnesium in it. The softener filters out the calcium and magnesium to make the water "soft".
Are some crystals are formed from minerals dissolved in liquids?
Yes, in fact that's how a lot of crystals are formed.
What is a solution that has a lot of chemicals dissolved in water?
concentrated acid
