If you were to break off a piece of this ice and melt it, would the water taste fresh or salty? Explain your answer. 

The salty ocean has a higher level of entropy compared to fresh water due to the dissolved ions it contains, which interact with and disperse water molecules. For ice to form in the ocean, this entropy must be reduced to allow the crystalline structure shown in the figure below to form.

The water will taste salty. The liquid water in the ocean forms the crystalline structure of ice when water molecules interact with each other and with salt ions.The water will taste salty. The liquid water in the ocean forms the crystalline structure of ice when salt ions interact with each other, including a few water molecules.The water will taste fresh. The liquid water in the ocean forms the crystalline structure of ice when water molecules interact with each other, including just a few salt ions.The water will taste fresh.
