Best Answer

Ordinary table salt has a density of 2.165 g/cubic centimeters or about 6 grams per teaspoon. Different grades of salt including Kosher salt, sea salt and pickling salt will very from this depending on factors such as particle size. For precise measurement you should weigh the salt.

I guess that the best way would be if you measure the mass of a cup of salt (salt only) and then you put it in the water and measure for how much the water has risen then calculate the volume of the risen watter and then calculate by this formula:

ρ(density) = m(mass of salt) / V (volume of salt ... [1kg m-3]

The density of salt (sea) water is dependent on salinity, temperature, and pressure. An increase in salinity and/or pressure causes an increase in density. An increase in temperature lowers the density.

The density of seawater at the surface ranges from about 1,020 to 1,029 kg/m3,

depending on the temperature and salinity.

Deep in the ocean, under high pressures and, more importantly, lower temperatures, seawater can reach a density of 1,050 kg/m3 or higher.
