yes..somewhat. It states that the ratio of major salts in samples of seawater from various places is constant. It can give you a rough answer to salinity ,but salinity varies because of elements not included in the major salts of the ocean. If there were no other factors then it would be able to tell you the salinity.

A sentence using the word salinity?
We tested the water's salinity. The salinity of water is the amount of salt that is in it. "Test the salinity of the substance," said the Chemistry instructor.
What two properties determine the density of sea water?
Temperature and Salinity. Both are important although temperature has a much greater effect than salinity on seawater density.
Is salinity a physical property?
Salinity is a chemical property.
How do you write salinity in a sentence?
The high salinity of the well water made it unpotable. It is quite possible to reduce the salinity of the water.
What is the best way to remember salinity?
Drink a (small) glass of seawater and you will remember salinity.
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
Why has salinity been based on the amount of chlorine present in the oceans?
-Due to the principle of constant proportions -It can be accurately measured with a simple chemical analysis
What is the principle of common proportions?
The relative proportions of ions in sea water are constant. In other words, the percentage accounted for by each ion is always the same. This implies that the oceans are chemically well-mixed and that ocean salinity varies almost entirely as a result of the addition or removal of pure water, not the addition or removal of salts. - A.J. F
What is the principle behind the use of the refractometer in determining salinity?
it works on the principle of refraction
When water boils down does the salinity level go up?
Yes. It's the condensation principle.
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceanographers can determine the .?
density
By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceanographers can determine the?
density
What do oceanographers measure in order to determine the salinity of ocean water?
Chinga tu madre
How does water temperature affect water salinity?
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
What waters near antarctica with the combination of the lowest sea temperatures and highest salinity and determine the approximate density of these waters?
The Antarctic Intermediate Water (AAIW) are the low salinity waters found in the Southern Ocean.
How do you do drilling mud salinity test?
Run a retort to determine the ratio of water in the mud, perform chloride titrations
How does temperature affect water?
The temperature and salinity of seawater determine its density. Water gets denser as it gets saltier and reaches a maximum density at 4 °C. Salinity does affect the boiling point and freezing point of water, but not its temperature.
