The level of minerals, ions and chemical pollutants that have been found in bottled water vary with each brand, as well as with the geographical location of the production plant. European bottled waters have been found to have a much higher mineral content than American bottled waters. Some American brands' water have been found to have the same chemical content as municipal tap water. There have been brands of bottled water that contain toxic disinfection biproducts, that are known to cause cancer, and are now required to put on a warning label.

Is tap water the same thing as bottled water?
Tap water and bottled water both come from a water source, but they are not exactly the same. Tap water is regulated by the government and usually contains added fluoride for dental health. Bottled water is regulated by the FDA and tends to be filtered or from a natural source, but it can vary in quality.
What happens when you mix salt with hot water?
When you mix salt with hot water, the salt dissolves into the water. This is because the heat of the water helps break down the salt crystals, allowing the sodium and chloride ions to disperse evenly throughout the water. This creates a saltwater solution.
Is it necessary to refrigerate containers of bottled water after opening?
Bottled water under normal conditions should not require refrigeration after it has been opened. But there is the possibility of it becoming contaminated after opening and support growth of microorganisms, since there is nothing added to the water (like chlorine) to prevent such growth. Perhaps you can find more specific information here: http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~ear/retfood.html#water If you drink from the bottle, yes. our mouth has bacteria in in that can contaminate the bottle. If you pour it into another container, then no.

Will salt tap or bottled water freeze faster?
The freezing rate in order of fastest to slowest would be: tap water, bottled water and then salt water. Although it's a toss up between bottled water and tap water. The more sodium content of a solution, the slower the rate of freezing. In fact, a supersaterated sodium solution has to have a temperature of -21 degrees Celsius in order to freeze. Any temperature above that, will cause the salt to melt the ice. That is why they use use salt on icy roadways in the winter. If the ambient temperature is below -21 degrees celsius however, ice on the roads won't help. So salt water would be the last to freeze. Why did I say tap water before bottled water? Bottled water usually, but not always, comes from natural springs. Although some people prefer this water over tap water, spring water can contain minerals, such as sodium (salt), calcium, which can slow the rate of freezing, unless the temperature is low enough. Tap water is wastewater that has been treated with chemicals (such as chlorine) and and filtered prior to it being sent to your home. The addition of these chemicals shouldn't slow down the rate of freeze and that's why I said it's a toss up between bottled and tap water. The difference in chemical make-up shouldn't interfere with the freeze rate, especially in a home freezer. Note that water at room temperature tends to freeze slighlty faster then cold water in a home freezer.
