What is the connection between density and salinity?

Answer 1

I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases I think that as the salinity increases, density increses. The minerals that contribute to the salinity of sater, such as sodium and chloride, are denser that water. Thus, when the dense particles are added, the density of the water increases

Answer 2

Absolutely. Salt is heavier than water, so when you dissolve salt in water, you drive up its density. Dissolving salt in water increases the volume only very slightly; for example, adding 3.5% salt to water (to approximate sea water) increases the volume about 1% as the density rises about 2.5%.

Answer 3

Salinity and density shares some relationships such as; As density increases, salinity increases. Salinity and density is increased by evaporation, addition of freshwater also decreases both salinity and density.

Answer 4

Increasing salinity (dissolved salts) raises the density of seawater. Take for instance the Dead Sea. Many things will float in the dead sea where they would sink in the Oceans.

Answer 5

Density is depend upon the salinity ,it means directly proportional to each other.salinity describe the measurement of how salty a solution is.
