Question Why does the water in the ocean taste salty, even though the salt is not visible? Explain.
Ocean water tastes salty because it contains a high concentration of dissolved salts, primarily sodium chloride (common table salt). These salts are not visible because they are dissolved at a molecular level, meaning the individual salt molecules are dispersed throughout the water, making it appear clear.
