2 - Chemical compounds and the law of mass action. According to the law of mass action, even if a life form could be made in seawater, it would immediately disintegrate back into chemicals. This is because chemical reactions always proceed in a direction from highest to lowest concentration. 3 - Chemical compounds and concentrations. Seawater does indeed contain all the elements, but in extremely small amounts.
Seawater is far too diluted to be useful.
4 - Chemical compounds and precipitates . An example would be sugars and amino acids, when brought together. 5 - Chemical compounds and fluid condensation. Certain compounds can only exist when the water is carefully drained off. This would include fats, sugars, nucleic acids, and proteins.
