They main thing my Physical Science teacher stressed
on us is the water is
the "Universal Solvent". Given enough time water
will dissolve EVERYTHING
immersed in it. This is still in debate in regards
to plastics and such but
that remains to be seen.
Forgive the quoting, my outgoing normal mail is messed
up, I have to cut and paste to a different address to
send mail. :(
This is what I get for going home to a 56k connection
instead of my ususal T3. . .I stop reading all the
threads cause of the time it takes to download them.
Salt
water, or NaCl(aq) is neutral. I believe NaCl is a
weak electorlyte, and will disolve into Na+ and Cl-
ions in solution, but that doesn't mean it will not be
neutral, I
think. And what better time to announce that I'm not
gonna be NaCl(aq) anymore. . . got tired of the name,
and switching it. :)
