Seawater
Seawater is
water from a
sea or
ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a
salinity of ~3.5%, or 35 parts per thousand. This means that every 1
kg of seawater has approximately 35 grams of dissolved salts (mostly, but not entirely, the ions of
sodium chloride: Na+, Cl-). The average density of seawater at the surface of the ocean is 1.025
g/
mL; seawater is denser than
fresh water (which reaches a maximum density of 1.000 g/mL at a temperature of 4°C) because of the added weight of the salts and
electrostriction.
