The most important dissolved elements in ocean water are?
Sodium (as the cation Na +) and chlorine (as the anion chloride, Cl-).
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).
What percentage of salt is there in the ocean?
The ocean has a lot of salt in it, 3.5% by weight, but that is not just dissolved sodium chloride (Na+, Cl-). The dissolved sodium and chlorine atoms account for about 85% of the salt by weight. The ocean contains calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium with bicarbonate, sulfate, chlorine and bromine. (If you remove the water, then what is left is, by weight, Cl− 55%, Na+ 30.6%, SO2−, 4 7.7%, Mg2+ 3.7%, Ca2+ 1.2%, K+ 1.1%, Other 0.7%)
What element is extracted from salt water?
sodium and chlorine
What are the elements of seawater?
All the elements are present in sea water in various quantities, but the most common ones (the ones responsible for its saltiness) are sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and aluminum from the metals; chlorine, fluorine, phosphorus, and sulfur for the non-metals. Not to mention hydrogen and oxygen, since that's what water is made of.
What is a property of ocean water?
Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sodium, and Chlorine
What percentage of sodium chloride is in ocean water?
40-45%
What are the substance make up salt in ocean water?
sodium ion and chlorine ion

The percentage of chlorine in sodium chloride?
This solution contain 6,5 g salt in 1 L solution.
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.
