Water and dissolved minerals would be stored in the central vacuole in plant cells. This large organelle helps maintain turgor pressure in the cell, stores nutrients and waste products, and can also act as a temporary storage for water and minerals.
Boiling water will not remove minerals from it. Minerals are dissolved in water and boiling only changes the physical state of the water, not its mineral content.
A Chemical Rock
Hot springs often have dissolved minerals because the underground water they come into contact with travels through rocks and soil, picking up minerals along the way. When this heated water reaches the surface and emerges as a hot spring, it brings these dissolved minerals with it, contributing to the unique mineral content of the spring.
Seawater, underground aquifers, and mineral springs typically contain dissolved salts and minerals. These dissolved substances contribute to the flavor and composition of the water, and are essential for the health of aquatic life.
The removal of minerals that have been dissolved in water is typically referred to as water demineralization or deionization. This process involves using various techniques such as reverse osmosis, ion exchange, or distillation to eliminate minerals and create purified water.
