Most lakes have rivers flowing out of them, carrying water to the ocean. However, some lakes, including Great Salt Lake and the Dead Sea, have no outlet. Water flowing into
these lakes leaves only through evaporation. Considering that the water flowing into the
lakes contains many dissolved substances, how does the lack of an outlet affect the
composition of these lakes? What would you expect to happen after many more years of
inflow and evaporation?

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
