Best Answer

salinity can be determined by measuring the chlorinity of the sample

since the chlorinity is easy to measure, and the principle of constant proportions applies to all seawater, scientist can use the following formula to determine salinity:

salinity in %o=1.80655 x Chlorinity in %o

To calculate the density of salt in water, measure the mass of a given volume of the solution using a balance. Then, divide the mass of the solution by the volume of the solution to determine the density. Keep in mind that the density will vary depending on the concentration of salt in the water.

Does water have the same density as salt?

No salt has a greater density.


Salt water density?

Salt water density really depends on a few different things. The concentration of salt and temperature are the 2 largest factors in determining the density of salt water.


Which one has more density water or salt water?

salt water


What has greater density plain water or salt water?

salt water


What does density tell you about salt water?

The density of a salt water solution compared against the densities of "pure" water and salt provides an approximate value of the ratio of water to salt in the mixture.


Does salt water have a lower density than water?

Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.


What is the density of an egg and salt?

Salt water has a higher density than the egg.


What is the density of the kosher salt in water?

This density depends on: - temperature - concentration of the salt


Does salt water around the world have the same density?

No, it depends on the volume of water that can dissolve the salt. If the volume of water is more then it dissolves more salt and the density will be more and if the volume of the water is less then it dissolves less salt and the density will be less.


Explanation why egg float in salt water?

Eggs float in salt water because salt water has a higher density than fresh water. The buoyant force acting on the egg is greater in the denser salt water, causing it to float.


What is density of salt water?

This depends on the amount of water and the amount of salt.


If pure water has a density of one gram per milliliter why does an egg sink in it but float in salt water?

That indicates that the average density of an egg is greater than the density of pure water but less than that of salt water. Salt water has more density the regular/pure water and the more salt you add the more it floats.
