Notes indicate that there is a self-ionization of water into H+, H3O+, and OH- at a concentration of about 1.0x10-7 mol/L
There are also notes of a significant amount of dissolved Oxygen (O2) in seawater. One would consider it as a stable covalently bonded molecule, but having unshared electrons, I can't rule out it participating with ion formation.

Is sodium the most abundant element in the ocean?
No, it is the most common dissolved ion in the ocean. The most common element by mass is oxygen as the ocean is still mostly water.
What is the most abundant ion in seawater?
Chloride is actually the most abundant ion in ocean water.
Chloride accounts for the highest percentage of ocean salts?
Yes, chloride is the most abundant ion in ocean water, making up about 55% of all the salts in the ocean. Sodium follows close behind as the second most abundant ion.
What are the substance make up salt in ocean water?
sodium ion and chlorine ion
What is the third most abundant ion in sea water?
What is the 3rd most abundant ion in sea water?
Which is a ion found in a glass of water?
OH-
When the ocean absorbs CO2 the pH of the ocean water rises. What is the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
When the ocean absorbs co2 the pH of the ocean water rises What is the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
When the ocean absorbs CO2 the pH of the ocean water rise What is the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
What is the pH of Ocean water?
This is assuming you have the hydrogen ion concentration of the water. This is normally expressed as moles/liter. You can use the formula pH = -log[H+] to find the answer.
When the ocean absorbs co2 the pH of the ocean water rises what's the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
When the ocean absorbs CO2 the pH of the ocean water drops. what's the effect of this process?
The hydrogen ion concentration increases.
