How can you work out the density of salt in water?
salinity can be determined by measuring the chlorinity of the sample since the chlorinity is easy to measure, and the principle of constant proportions applies to all seawater, scientist can use the following formula to determine salinity: salinity in %o=1.80655 x Chlorinity in %o
Do salt water mollusc's?
Yes, salt water mollusks are able to live in saltwater environments. They have adapted to the specific conditions of these habitats, such as high salinity levels, and are able to thrive in them.
What type of vegetation grows in the ocean?
Aquatic plants under high salinity conditions.
Which condition of ocean water varies with the location and seasons?
salinity
How can you ascertain or prove that a sample of sea water is a sea water only or what is a chemical property that uniquely identifies sea water in nature?
Water has great abundance on the Earth, and of that abundance about 97% is sea water. Sea water contains about 3.5% by weight of salt (sodium chloride). The salinity does vary, and the combination of salinity and temperature has a major influence on ocean currents and behavior. Salinity is a crucial property of the seas and is widely measured. Among the variouse ways to characterize the average salinity are 35 ppt (parts per thousand), 35 psu (practical salinity units). The typical range of salinity is about 33 to 37 ppt. About 70% of the Earth is covered with water. The salt in that water would build a 180 mile high, 1 mile thick wall around the equator according to the Windows to the Universe website.
Is salinity a physical property?
Salinity is a chemical property.
What is ocean water salinity?
Salinity is defined as the total amount of solid material in grams contained in 1km of sea water and is expressed as part per thousand. Salinity affects physical property of ocean such as temperature, pressure, density, waves and currents.
What 3 factors affect the density of sea water?
Temperature, pressure, and common ion effect
What property of water is affected by temperature and salinity?
ocean water
What factors affect the density of sea?
Temperature, salinity, and pressure.
How velocity of sound in relation with salinity and temperature and pressure?
Speed of sound in water is affected by the oceanographic variables of temperature, salinity, and pressure. Look at the link: "How fast does sound travel in water?"
What factor affects the density of sea water?
Temperature, salinity, and pressure.
What is the salinity when you get deeper into the ocean?
because of the pressure that's why the ocean get's deeper :)
What happens to water if the salinity increases?
The heat capacity and freezing point decrease, evaporation slows, and osmotic pressure increases.
What makes water change from one state to another?
Heat, or Pressure, and possibly salinity Cold

What abiotic factor of the marine biome is most effective on green algae?
Wave motion, salinity , atmospheric pressure
