How do you explain the peculiarity on the salinity of sea water and similarly for the hardness of water?
The salinity of seawater is primarily due to the presence of dissolved salts, mainly sodium chloride. This occurs over time as water flows through rivers, picks up minerals from rocks, and eventually reaches the ocean. The hardness of water is caused by the presence of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can enter water sources through the dissolution of rocks and soil, contributing to the hardness of the water.
What ingredients does seawater contain?
Water, dissolved minerals, oil, plastics, condoms, sh!t and just about everything else that's either washed from the land or dumped there by man.
What is a solution equal to?
A solution contain a solute dissolved in a solvent.
Do tears contain DNA?
Tears may contain loose cells (which contain DNA), but it is mostly just water and dissolved salts.
What percent of all seawater is minor organic salts?
Sea water doesn't contain organic salts.
Is there a amount of sodium chloride is in water?
Depends...Swimming pool and river water consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.The sea does contain sodium chloride - on average, sea water in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram (roughly one litre by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts.
Does the water of marine ecosystem contain dissolved salt?
Most marine ecosystems do contain saltwater. Some bodies of water do contain freshwater, but they are not the majority.

What is the similarity between oceans and lakes?
They are bodies of water, contain living organisms, have beaches, waves, seaweed, people live by them, swim in them, and have been around for centuries.

What is the difference between freshwater lochs and seawater lochs?
You've already answered your own question. The difference is that feshwater lochs contain fresh water while seawater lochs contain seawater.
Is seawater a solution or a mixture?
Seawater may be considered a heterogeneous mixture because contain many insoluble materials.
Most of the salt in seawater is?
Seawater contain sodium chloride (this is the most important component as salt) and many other impurities.
Can a liter of seawater contain a million microbes?
Yes, at least.
Do all oceans have the same amount of salt?
No. Primarily because of the amount of fresh water draining into it, the Black Sea has a very low salinity and the Mediteranean has a higher than average salinity.
Is most of seawater made of salt?
Seawater contain sodium chloride (this is the most important component as salt) and many other impurities.
What happens if there is too much oxygen in seawater?
Oxygen in the water is called "dissolved oxygen" because quite simply it is just that. The air naturally diffuses into the water and can reach equilibrium with the water. It is virtually impossible to get too much dissolved oxygen in the water because the excess will convert back to gas and bubble out of the water like so much soda water when you pour it out of the bottle. This said, there is no concern for too much dissolved oxygen in the water. Concern arises when dissolved oxygen levels get too low. When this happens more sensitive plants and animals become weak or die. As a side note, weather, temperature, and salinity all effect dissolved oxygen levels. Faster moving water contains more dissolved oxygen because it has more contact with the air than still water. Cold, fresh water holds more oxygen than warm or salty water. This would mean a cold, fast moving, fresh water stream or river would contain the highest amounts of dissolved oxygen, and the salinity of the ocean water would not be ideal for holding as much dissolved oxygen.
