Salt waters of the Atlantic
The largest saltwater lake in the world is the Caspian Sea. It is bordered by five countries: Russia, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Iran, and Azerbaijan. Despite its name, the Caspian Sea is not a sea but a lake.
When salt water evaporates, the water molecules dissipate into the air, leaving behind the salt ions. These ions will eventually form salt crystals as the remaining water evaporates completely.
The property that allows salt to be collected from ocean water is its solubility. When salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water, it dissociates into its constituent ions, which remain in solution. By evaporating the water through processes like solar evaporation or boiling, the salt can be crystallized and collected as the water leaves, leaving the solid salt behind. This process takes advantage of the difference in boiling points between water and salt.
When the solubility of a salt is described as a dynamic equilibrium, it means that the rate of dissolution of the salt into its ions is equal to the rate of precipitation of the salt from its ions. In other words, there is a balance between the ions dissolving and re-forming the solid salt, resulting in a constant concentration of dissolved ions in the solution.
The largest contributor to the salt ions in the ocean is the weathering of rocks on land, which releases minerals containing salt into rivers that eventually flow into the ocean.
Sodium and Chloride
The oceans. If they are counted as one body the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic and Southern Oceans are easily the largest bodies of salt water on Earth. The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the oceans.

the north pasific ocean becuz its near china, and china makes al ot of produce!
Sodium (Na+) and chloride (Cl-) ions are the two most common ions found in ocean water. Sodium and chloride combine to form salt, which gives seawater its characteristic taste and salinity.

- salt is dissolved from the earth (also as ions Na+ and Cl-) and transported in oceans by rivers - chlorine from volcanic activity in oceans and sodium from the earth form NaCl
