Salinity tends to be above average?
in hot areas because there is greater evaporation so their is more salt in the water
How much salt do you use to make salt water?
To match the average salinity of ocean water, add 35 grams of salt to 1 liter of water.
Freezing point of sea water?
Water freezes at zero degrees Celsius or 32 degrees Fahrenheit at sea level.
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.
Which of the following is the most reasonable explanation for a drop in temperature of a gas?
A decrrease in the average kinetic energy of the gas particles :) novanet billzfourseven
What is the average salinity of seawater by weight?
The average salinity of seawater is about 35 grams of dissolved salts per kilogram of seawater, or 3.5% by weight.
What is the average salinity in the oceans?
The average salinity of seawater is 35 parts per thousand (or ppt).
What is the average of salinity?
The average salinity of seawater is about 35 parts per thousand
What is the average absolute salinity of seawater?
i really dont know
If the average salinity of seawater is 29ppt how many grams of dissolved salts will 500g of seawater contain?
5 grams
On average what is the percent of salt in saltwater?
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of ~3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand.
Concentration of salt in sea water?
The average salinity of seawater is about 35 parts per thousand or 3.5%.
How much saltier is ocean water than your blood?
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% The salinity of human blood is 0.9%. So sea water is roughly 3.5 times as salty as blood.
In addition to salinity what factor affects the density in sea water?
Density of seawater is largely a function of two factors: depth, that is, the deeper water is more dense than water at shallower levels; and temperature - water at higher temperatures is less dense than cooler water. Salinity is also a factor, but that's a localized phenomena simply because all the worlds oceans are in fact one large ocean and maintains an average overall salinity.
Can you take sea water and drink it?
On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5%. This means that every kilogram, or every litre, of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts.Accidentally consuming small quantities of clean seawater is not harmful, especially if the seawater is consumed along with a larger quantity of fresh water. However, drinking seawater to maintain hydration is counterproductive; more water must be excreted to eliminate the salt (via urine) than the amount of water that is gained from drinking the seawater itself. The effect of seawater intake has also been studied in laboratory settings in rats.This study confirmed the negative effects of drinking seawater when dehydrated.
What is the average salinity in water?
1000ppm
What is a salinity?
Salinity usually refers to the percentage of dissolved salt in water. A salinity meter simply measures this. 3.5% salinity = 35g of salt/Litre (this is your average salt water)
