The salinity in sea water varies from place to place and from time to time. One widely used reference* gives the following averages: sodium, 1.05 g/litre and chlorine (predominantly chloride ions), 1.90 g/litre.

How are sodium and chlorine used today?
Sodium is used in salt. Chlorine, small amounts are used in drinking water.
Why is chlorine and sodium dangerous?
Sodium is dangerous because it is an Alkali metal which is HIGHLY reactive with water. Chlorine is dangerous because it forms a strong acid with water.
How do we get chlorine?
Chlorine is extracted from the salts. The most common salt is used for making chlorine is sea water. The sea water mostly consists Sodium chloride.
What kind of chlorine is in tap water?
In Australia we use Chlorine gas, but also (as I recall) sodium hypochlorite if we dose the water in a reservoir.
What are the chemical present in salt?
salt is also called sodium chloride. sodium is a mineral on the periodic table, and so is chlorine. sodium + chlorine gas = salt sodium and chlorine are fatally dangerous, but when put together, they make something completely harmless and useful.
Sodium chloride is mixed with water?
When NaCl is placed in water, the sodium and chlorine dissociate, giving you ions of chlorine which are negatively charged, and sodium ions which are positively charged. There is no reaction when sodium chloride is placed in water.
What is the source of chlorine in ocean water?
The source of chlorine; salt, chlorine is found in a combined state with sodium to form normal salt which is present in the ocean. Please view the related link for details.
What is a compound sodium chlorine iodine water?
Water
What is one way sodium and chlorine are different?
A chemical difference is that sodium reacts with water to make an alkali, and chlorine plus water give acids. A physical difference is that sodium is a solid at room temperature and chlorine is a gas.
How are sodium and chlorine used today?
Sodium is used in salt. Chlorine, small amounts are used in drinking water.
Which two elements makes up most of the dissolved solids in sea water?
Hydrogen and Oxygen H20 is the element compound of water.
What is the source of water in the ocean?
The source of chlorine; salt, chlorine is found in a combined state with sodium to form normal salt which is present in the ocean. Please view the related link for details.
What chemicals can be obtained from the electrolysis of sodium chloride?
Electrolysis of a water solution: sodium hydroxide, hydrogen, chlorine..Electrolysis of molten NaCl: sodium, chlorine.
How does chlorine explode when mixed with water?
Chlorine doesn't explode when mixed with water. Pool water has chlorine in it. I think you meant sodium mixed with water, which does explode.
Powder of nacl and kcl is dssolved in 80 ml of water and trested with 277 ml of 0.264 molar AgNO3 what is the percent by weight of the NaCl?
Sodium chloride contain chlorine and sodium.
How does salt desolve in water?
When solid sodium chloride is placed in water, water molecules form bonds to the sodium and chlorine ions. Since these bonds are quite strong compared to the ionic bonds, the sodium and chlorine are pulled apart. The result is sodium and chlorine atoms surrounded by a hydration shell (group of water molecules).
Why is chlorine and sodium dangerous?
Sodium is dangerous because it is an Alkali metal which is HIGHLY reactive with water. Chlorine is dangerous because it forms a strong acid with water.
