Question

Differentiate between the fresh water lake and salt water lake

Answer 1

1. The main difference between saltwater and freshwater is the salinity content. Both contain salt or sodium chloride, but freshwater contains only small amounts of salt

2. Another considerable difference between the two is their density. Saltwater has a higher density than freshwater because of the sodium chloride it contains.

3. The boiling point of seawater is higher than that of pure water, and its freezing point is lower.

4.About 71% of the earth is covered with salt water.

Freshwater is less than 1% in this world.

Salt water is not suitable as drinking water, because salt drains water from human bodies. When humans drink salt water they risk dehydration. If we want to drink seawater, it needs to be desalinated first.

Answer 2

Chilika lake is the largest salt water lake in India.
