When sodium chloride (salt) is dissolved into liquid water, the salte becomes a solute in a salt water solution. Salt cannot dissolve as a solute into water vapor - the nature of water vapor does not allow it to be a suitable sovent to sodium chloride.
Therefore, when sea water evaporates, it leaves the salt behind - in the ocean - because the water vapor is incapable of holding the salt in solution.
Because when salty water is evaporated, the salt is left behind and is not part of the water vapor in the air.
What else can I help you with?
Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
Is the ocean water near the poles less salty?
Yes, ocean water near the poles is less salty compared to ocean water near the equator. This is because melting ice and precipitation in polar regions dilute the salinity of the water.
A place where fresh water from rivers mixes with salty ocean water is a?
estuary. It is a partially enclosed coastal body of water where freshwater from rivers and streams mixes with salty seawater. Estuaries are rich and productive ecosystems that support diverse marine life.
Does the water cycle affect the ocean?
the ocean becomes saltier (evaporation) or less salty (precipitation/runoff)
What is a good experiment for why is the ocean salty?
One good experiment to demonstrate why the ocean is salty involves using a simulation with a container filled with water and adding salt to it. As the water evaporates, the salt remains behind, showing how salt gets deposited in the ocean over time through processes like evaporation and erosion from rocks. This can help explain why the ocean is salty.
Where does water vapor come from?
water vapor comes from the ocean water when it goes through evaporation.
Salty ocean water is an example of what type of substance?
salty ocean water is a solution.
Where do hurricanes get their moisture?
The moisture that fuels a hurricane is water vapor that comes from warm ocean water.
How much of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is fresh water?
Only about 10 of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is fresh water.
What does the ocean have?
* salty water
How much fresh water is in the ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is salty, there is no fresh water in it.
What oceans are salty?
yes, they are salty ,with the help of sea water and ocean water we make salt.
Is there a difference in the taste between fresh water and ocean perch?
yes it is different because sea water is salty and the water that comes oot the tap has no tate :)
Is the water raound Greenland salty?
Yes, it is ocean water
What is a place where rivers flow into oceans and have very salty water but not as salty as the ocean?
The place where a river flows into an ocean and fresh water mixes with salt water is known as a delta. The water that is less salty than seawater is known as brackish water.
What is 97 percent of the water on earth?
Approximately 97% of the water on Earth is salty ocean water.
How did the water get in to the ocean?
The water got in the ocean by the volcano's exploding and the vapor got in the ocean and that created the ocean water.
