What are the two factors that control the concentration of salt in seawater?
Well there may be more than two. The rivers flow into the sea, thus diluting the salt, but salt carried by the river will increase the salt content. Salt may be removed by precipitation, but only if the concentration becomes great.
What does salinity mean in science?
Salinity is the measure of salt concentration in water
Why does salt water freeze below 0 celsius?
Salt candissolve ice, so the salt in sea water act like a antifreeze. Sea Water would probably start freezing at - 15C
What does salt concentration mean?
Salt content is the percentage of salt in water. Most ocean water has a 35 ppt salt content. That is, 35 grams of salt for every 1000 grams of water. This could also be written as 3.5%
Why can we float easier in the sea than in a freshwater lake?
The density of salt water is higher than fresh water.
How much salt is present in the Dead Sea?
The Dead Sea is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, with a salt concentration of around 30.
Is that salt concentration affects pH in sea water or fresh water?
No; the absorbed carbon dioxide is important.
What is the concentration of salt in seawater and the specific heat capacities of sea water and fresh water?
the seawater smells
What is the most common salt in the sea?
The most common salt in sea water is sodium chloride (NaCl); the concentration is approx. 36 g/L.
Weight of salt in the sea?
An average value for the concentration of sodium chloride in sea water is 35 g/L.
Why is there so much salt in the Dead Sea?
The Dead Sea has a high concentration of salt because it has no outlet for water to flow out. Water evaporates from the sea, leaving behind minerals like salt, which become more concentrated over time.
What percent of all salt water is salt?
The concentration of sodium chloride in sea waters is approx. 35 g/L.
What is the salt concentration in dirty water?
there is no salt concentration.
Does fresh water freeze faster or salt water?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
Does salt water or fresh water freezes faster?
Fresh water freezes at 32°f (0°c) at sea level. Sea water freezes at 28.4°f (-2°c) at sea level. Salt water depends on the concentration of salt. At maximum saturation salt water (23.3% by weight) freezes at -5.98°f (-21.1°c).
Which is denser river water distilled water tap water or sea water?
Sea water is the densest among river water, distilled water, tap water, and sea water. This is due to the higher concentration of salt and minerals in sea water, which increases its density compared to the others.
How does the sea flow into the sea?
Because of difference in salt concentration.
