There are many different components of sea water. However, there are eleven ions that make up its main chemicals.
Chloride (19.35),
Sodium (10.76),
Sulfate (2.712),
Magnesium (1.294),
Calcium (0.413),
Potassium (0.387),
Bicarbonate (0.142),
Bromide (0.067),
Strontium (0.008),
Boron (0.004), and
Fluoride (0.001).
However impurities concentration vary from sea to sea.

Where would the lowest density of sea water be found?
the dead sea
WHAT IS ESTURIES?
bodies of water and their surrounding coastal habitats typically found where rivers meet the sea
What is the name of the solvent in sea water?
The solvent in sea water is water.
What substance found in sea water that comes from the atmosphere?
well sea water that comes from the atmosphere contains small concentrations of the gases in the atmosphere such as oxygen, carbondioxide, carbonmonoxide, and nitrogen. it would also contain pollutants from factories
Which is the most impure water source among river water sea water and Lake water-?
Sea water
Why is ruting faster in sea water than freash water?
Beacause sea water has lots of impurities and disolve salt
Is there any chemicals in sea water tap water?
Sea water contain sodium chloride (approx. 35 g/L and other salts and impurities; the concentrations of impurities in treated drinkable tap water are very low.
Why is sea water is not fresh water?
Because sea water contain many salts (especially NaCl) and other impurities, dissolved or suspended.
What chemicals can you mixed in sea water into normal water or drinking water?
Sea water contain NaCl, KCl, CaCl2, MgCl2, etc.; drinking water contain only small amounts of impurities. Rivers and lakes water contain different impurities depending on the geographical/geological area.
What are the functions of a waste water treatment plant?
to treat the water with impurities before they return it back yo the river or sea.
What are two forms of fresh water?
Water vapor and rain are fresh water, as is frozen sea water. However, all can contain or acquire impurities.
Why does bath water conduct electricity but pure water does not?
"Bath water" or normal water, usually contain many impurities. These impurities, such as ions (especially calcium ions) help the water to conduct electricity very efficiently (just like sea water). However in pure, dH20, there are no ions and impurities. The self-ionization of water isn't enough to conduct a current. Therefore, pure water doesn't conduct current, and is actually a pretty good insulator.
Is seawater heterogeneous or homogeneous?
Because sea water contain many insoluble impurities and living organisms it is heterogeneous.
Why the water taken from sea freezes at about -2 degree celsius and boils at about 101 degree celsius?
It contains salt and other impurities.
Why is it not possible to filter the sea water to obtain the salt?
Filtration only removes the insoluble substances in sea water, such as sand, micro-organisms, seaweed, etc. But it fails to remove the soluble substances, such as Sodium Chloride and other ionic compounds. Therefore, the filtrate would not be pure water, but a mixture of water and soluble impurities.
Where would the lowest density of sea water be found?
the dead sea
Where are sea sponges found?
sea sponges are found in mostly in salt water, but a few live in fresh water.
