give reasons:- why ocean water contains sodium chloride NaCl??
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Some areas of the ocean are saltier than others. This image shows methane mussels living at the edge of a underwater brine pool in a cavern at a depth of 650 feet in the Gulf of Mexico. The pool of brine in the foreground is nearly four times as salty as seawater and is so dense that a submarine can float on the pool (in fact, this photo was shot from a submarine).
Answer: Due to most widespread ions sodium and chloride.
Explanation: The reason behind started with rocks and water. When it rains the water mix with the carbon- di -oxide that present in air or surroundings we can say, which together (water + carbon di oxide) makes carbonic acid ; which is responsible for making water acidic.
When this acidic water falls on rocks they erodes and it results in ions.
Some ions are consumed by organism while some rest as it is and among all of the the most widespread ions are "sodium and chloride" ; which together make sodium chloride and is responsible for making water salty.
