What are the two factors that control the concentration of salt in seawater?
Well there may be more than two. The rivers flow into the sea, thus diluting the salt, but salt carried by the river will increase the salt content. Salt may be removed by precipitation, but only if the concentration becomes great.
What does salinity mean in science?
Salinity is the measure of salt concentration in water
What does salt concentration mean?
Salt content is the percentage of salt in water. Most ocean water has a 35 ppt salt content. That is, 35 grams of salt for every 1000 grams of water. This could also be written as 3.5%
Why does salt water freeze below 0 celsius?
Salt candissolve ice, so the salt in sea water act like a antifreeze. Sea Water would probably start freezing at - 15C
What effects does the amount of salt have on floatability of an egg?
The larger the salt concentration in the water, the more quickly the egg will achieve flotation. Adding salt to the water will cause the egg to float.
How much salt is in a salt water aquarruim?
The concentration would be about the same as for sea water.
What changes would take place in the chlamydomonas cell if it were transfered to sea water?
As there is a higher concentration of salt in the sea water, salt will diffuse into the cell and this will cause the cell to shrink.
Is that salt concentration affects pH in sea water or fresh water?
No; the absorbed carbon dioxide is important.
What is the concentration of salt in seawater and the specific heat capacities of sea water and fresh water?
the seawater smells
What is the most common salt in the sea?
The most common salt in sea water is sodium chloride (NaCl); the concentration is approx. 36 g/L.
Weight of salt in the sea?
An average value for the concentration of sodium chloride in sea water is 35 g/L.
What percent of all salt water is salt?
The concentration of sodium chloride in sea waters is approx. 35 g/L.
What is the salt concentration in dirty water?
there is no salt concentration.
A body of water that contains a high concentration of dissolved mineral matter?
The body of water which has the highest content of dissolved mineral matter is the Dead Sea. It has a salt content which is 9 times higher than regular sea water, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and other minerals.
Does salt water or fresh water freezes faster?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
Does fresh water freeze faster or salt water?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
What is the difference of boiling points between sea water and normal water?
Sea water has a higher boiling point than water, meaning that it will have to be heated more then pure water to boil. This temperature depends on the concentration of the salt in the salt water. The boiling point of normal water at normal pressure is 100C/212 F while for sea water it is 2 C higher or more depending on the salt concentration/impurities in the sea water. The difference in the boiling points would be 2 C or greater.
