Sodium Chloride.
Yes. Sodium and chloride are the most abundant ions in sea salt.
What is the 3rd most abundant ion in sea water?
Salt in sea water is salt dissolved from the natural sources in the mountains and transported by the rivers in seas and oceans.
Sodium Chloride
The most abundant dissolved salt in ocean water is sodium chloride. It is a colorless crystalline compound with the chemical formula of NaCl.
There are several salts in sea water, but the most abundant is ordinary table salt or Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Sodium Chloride, like other salts, dissolves in water into its ions, so this is really a question about which ions are present in the greatest concentration.
The most important salt in sea water is sodium chloride; other salts are chlorides of potassium, calcium and magnesium.
The most abundant substance dissolved in sea water is sodium chloride, which is more commonly known as table salt. It makes up about 85% of the total dissolved solids in the ocean.
In seawater, sodium chloride (table salt) is the most abundant salt present, accounting for approximately 85% of the total dissolved salts. Calcium salts are less abundant compared to sodium chloride in seawater.
Hydrogen and oxygen
h2o and sodium chloride. (Salt and water) Almost all elements are found in sea water. Some elements are man made and do not occur naturally. Salt is the most abundant but if you had the gold from a square mile of sea water, you would be one rich son of a gun.
Salt water kills most plants!
