Sea water contains much more dissolved material like salt (The Pacific has more than 33 g NaCl per liter) and other stuff than river water does (<0.5 g/L).

Is not one of the properties of water?
Seawater does not have a density of 5.
If an object sinks when being placed in water its density is?
To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.To sink, the object's density must be greater than the density of water.
Which has a greater density sir or water?
Most sirs are slightly denser than water. Particularly fat sirs may not be.
What has greater density plain water or salt water?
salt water
What kind of density current is caused by muddy rapidly flowing mixture of sediment and water?
A turbidity current is a density current that occurs when mud or silt mixes with seawater. This is the result of the increase in the density of the water itself.
Why is it easier to swim in seawater than in river water?
It is easier to float, in any case, because salt water has a greater density.
Why does seawater have a greater buoyant force than fresh water?
Seawater has a greater buoyant force than fresh water because seawater has a higher density than fresh water therefore the buoyancy is higher. *Improved* This happens because when water mixes with the salt in sea water, the density changes to the average density which is around 1.55 g/mL (Average density is the density of different materials put to together )
How much density does sea water have?
The density of seawater is approximately 1030 kg/m3Note that:1. Density is a measure of the mass per unit volumeIt does not depend on the sample's size.2. The density of seawater is greater than that of fresh water which has a density of approximately 1000 kg/m33. The density of water varies with temperature and impurities.
A boat will float higher in the Atlantic Ocean than in the Potomac River because ocean water has -?
Greater density
Where would you find the lowest density in seawater?
Answer 1) At the Surface. Answer 2) I disagree with the above answer. For practical purposes water is not compressible. Therefore the density is the same all over. The difference in density at the surface and at the bottom is so small that it is negligible. However, fresh water is less dense than seawater, since the salts dissolved in the seawater makes it more dense. For that reason, if you consider seawater near the mouth of a river, that water will be less dense than the seawater in general.
A man first swims in seawater then in river water.Compare the weight of seawater and the riverwater displaced by him?
We know that the density of the sea water is more than the density of the river water. So, the weight of displaced sea water is more than the weight of displaced river water. This weight gives the upward Buoyant force to the swimmer. Thus, the apparent weight of the swimmer is less in the sea water. Hence he finds it easier to swim in the sea water.
Is not one of the properties of water?
Seawater does not have a density of 5.
Does salt content of water affect the density of seawater?
the salt makes seawater denser than freshwater. more salt increases the density
How would you tell tap water and seawater apart?
The density of the fresh water is less than the density of the salt water.
Why seawater lighter than river water?
sea water is less denser than river water.
What happens when a ship enters a sea from a river?
The ship will rise upward as the density of the sea water is greater than that of the river water. So the volume of the displaced sea water is less than that of the river water.
Which has greater density ice or water how can you say that?
Water has a greater density than ice.
