Soft or hard water has to do with the amount of dissolved minerals in water and what those minerals are. "Harder" water has more dissolved minerals (like calcium.)
Freshwater typically has lower levels of dissolved solids compared to saltwater. Saltwater contains higher concentrations of salt (sodium chloride) and other dissolved minerals, making it more saline. This difference in dissolved solids affects the density and freezing point of the water.
Temperature affects how much solute a solvent can dissolve. Most minerals are more soluble in warmer water than colder water. Therefore, because Lake Victoria is located in a warmer climate than Lake Erie, it is able to dissolve more minerals.
Sea water is more dense than fresh water because it contains dissolved salts, minerals, and other substances that increase its mass without significantly increasing its volume. This increased mass causes sea water to be more dense than fresh water, which has a lower concentration of dissolved substances.
Distilled water is pure water that has been boiled and condensed to remove impurities and minerals. Saline water, on the other hand, contains dissolved salt or other minerals, making it unsuitable for drinking but potentially useful for irrigation or industrial purposes.

The mantle is denser than the crust because it contains more iron and magnesium-rich minerals. These minerals have a higher density compared to the minerals found in the crust, such as silica and aluminum.
Ocean water is more dense than regular fresh water because it contains higher concentrations of dissolved salts and minerals. These dissolved compounds make the water heavier, increasing its density. Additionally, temperature and pressure differences between ocean water and fresh water can also contribute to variations in density.
yes, all environmental and drinking water contains salts. You only get pure H2O in labs. Sea water is salty because there is more salt dissolved in it.
Fruit contains of vitamins minerals and much more. LOL
A solution contains one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent.
A solution that contains more dissolved material than its solubility can hold is called a supersaturated solution. It is temporarily stable but can become unstable and result in the excess solute precipitating out of the solution.
