How speed of sound of pure water compare with the speed of sound in ocean water?

In salt water that is free of air bubbles or suspended sediment, sound travels at about 1560 m/s. The speed of sound in seawater depends on pressure (hence depth), temperature (a change of 1 °C ~ 4 m/s),and empirical equations have been derived to accurately calculate sound speed from these variables.
In pure water the speed of sound is less than in ocean water.

Speed of sound is maximum in which like in steel or solid and if anything else than please specify?
Speed of sound is maximum in STeel or solid.. if we compare the speed of sound in different mediums like vaccuum,water,solid..we will find it decreases with maximum in soild then liquid and then vaccuum
How does the speed of sound in tap water compare with the speed of sound in pure water?
For a liquid, we find that the speed of sound decreaseswith increasing density but increases with increasing bulk modulus. Increasing the dissolved solids will increase density, but also bulk modulus. In general, bulk modulus will increase "faster" with an increase in dissolved solids than density will increase. And this translates into a net increase in the speed of sound in water with increasing dissolved solids. Tap water has dissolved solids, so the speed of sound in tap water should be higher than it is in pure water at the same temperature and pressure.
What is the speed of sound in fresh water?
In fresh water, sound travels at about 1497 m/s at 25 °C.
Why does the water pressure of the water vapor in the atmosphere affects the speed of sound waves?
because there is water also moving in it and sound also moves in it so thats why water vapours affect our sound speed
The speed in water is less than or greater than the speed of sound of air?
The speed of sound in water is greater than the speed of sound in air . For example, at 20 °C and 1 ATM pressure, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s, and its speed in water is 1482 m/s. In general, the speed of sound in a medium = (bulk modulus of the medium/ its density)^0.5 where the bulk modulus indicates how compressible the medium is; the greater the bulk modulus, the more incompressible the medium is. So, although water has a density much greater than that of air, water is also much more incompressible than air. When you solve for the speed of sound for both water and air using the above formula, you will find that it is greater in water.
How deep is the sound of speed in ocean water?
The speed of sound in water is 1500 m/s.

Is the speed of sound in a solid the same as the speed of sound in water?
No, the speed of sound is faster in solids.
Is the speed of sound in water never changing?
The speed of sound depends on the temperature and the saltiness of water.
Is the speed of sound in the air different or the same as the speed of sound in the water?
No, it is not.
Is the speed in water vapor greater than speed in water?
Not the speed of sound.
What is the bulk modulus of ocean water?
c=sqrt(K/rou),here cf is the speed of sound, K is the bulk modulus, rou is the density. so if we know the density of ocean water and sound speed, we can get K = c^2*rou=1500^2*1024 = 2.304*10^9 (N/m^2)
Which material has more sound speed fresh water or seawater explain?
Fresh water has more sound speed. Spongy water is what slows down speed of water.
Speed of sound in fresh water?
the speed of sound of water at 25 degrees centigrade is 1497 m/s.
How fast is the speed of sound in water?
The speed of sound in water at 25 degree Celsius is 1493 meters per second.
What is the speed of sound in fresh water?
In fresh water, sound travels at about 1497 m/s at 25 °C.
