****ing Meat....

I wondered that too.
Dissolved salts aren't referred to that way.

It was my polite way of saying that it's nonsense.

I don't know chemistry well enuf to go there.

It doesnt take much to see the sense of it.

The reason desalination takes a lot of energy
is impatience.

I recall from thermodynamics that mixing
gases increases entropy, & that separation
requires work (ie, energy).

If i could i would use ocean water to cook spaghetti, as it is thought i use salted tap water of about the same salinity as ocean water

I'm the guy who eats everything on my plate, usually. I might pass on Dead Sea spaghetti....

Salt ain't gas

What chemical bonds

I can only offer a googled response.
Why does salt dissolve when mixed with water?

• When salt is mixed with water, the salt dissolves because the covalent bonds of water are stronger than the ionic bonds in the salt molecules.

 

[The Hammer]

Nah, I think the solution is obvious, we should (re-)start eating people.

Soylent Green? Is that you?

 

[Revoltingest]

No, but dissolving a solid in a fluid
increases entropy, & requires energy
to separate....same as gases.

I like meat. But these stats are sad to say the least.

So I can eat meat AND help destroy the world? Christmas is early!

 

[Heyo]

Soylent Green? Is that you?

No, that was @Revoltingest. I've only drawn the logical conclusion from his premises.

Soo
When the salt crystalizes
out of solution?

So the Na and Cl ions is bonded to what?

 

[Revoltingest]

As I recall, it could depend on the kind of salt.
I hated chemistry, so don't quote me.

I am participating in this discussion as a total novice. I really can not offer an informed reply to you.

 

[Heyo]

Yep, as crystallisation only happens when the water evaporates - which requires energy.

No so about the " only when".

 

[Heyo]

No so about the " only when".

Well, technically and depending the kind of salt, you could also change the temperature or the pressure or add chemicals but all those require energy.

Well?
What are they?
I assume there is more than one rule seeing as "rules" is plural....
