Are you kidding me?! Tap water has to go through dirty city pipes. Of course it's saturated with minerals. Not only that but Fluorine or Chlorine or whatever halogen they choose to kill the bacteria and protozoans with.
- Panoramix 10y agoWhat I meant with saturation is the state when no more minerals can be absorbed.
- goldenkey 10y agoDissolution is based on concentration of existing solute. This isn't a binary effect of complete saturation like you suggest. Pure water has enough diffusion pressure to cause significantly more dissolution of a tooth's mineral lining than hard water. Diffusion pressure of pure distilled water is 1236 atm. See DPD: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_pressure https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_pressure Quote on quote: "If some solute is dissolved in water its diffusion pressure decreases. The difference between diffusion pressure of pure water and solution is called diffusion pressure deficit (DPD)."
