oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% (35 g/L ) This means that every kilogram (roughly one litre by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts dominantly sodium chloride.

True or false dissolved oxygen in the ocean water causes salinity?

False. Dissolved oxygen in ocean water does not cause salinity. Salinity is primarily determined by the amount of dissolved salts in the water, such as sodium and chloride ions. Dissolved oxygen levels are influenced by factors like temperature, depth, and the presence of photosynthetic organisms.
