Ocean salinity

Salinity is determined by the amount of dissolved salts in water. The higher the concentration of salts, the higher the salinity of the water. Salinity is often measured in parts per thousand (ppt) or practical salinity units (PSU).

What is determined by the amount of dissolved salts in water.?
Salinity
What is the total amount of salts dissolved in a water sample?

What term do oceanographers use to describe the amount of dissolved salts in ocean water?
Oceanographers use the term "salinity" to describe the amount of dissolved salts in ocean water. This measurement is often expressed in parts per thousand (ppt) or in practical salinity units (psu).
True or false dissolved oxygen in the ocean water causes salinity?
False. Dissolved oxygen in ocean water does not cause salinity. Salinity is primarily determined by the amount of dissolved salts in the water, such as sodium and chloride ions. Dissolved oxygen levels are influenced by factors like temperature, depth, and the presence of photosynthetic organisms.
Why do bath salts dissolve in water?
Polar salts are easily dissolved in water.
What is determined by the amount of dissolved salts in water.?
Salinity
What is determined by the dissolved salts in water?
Dissolved salts have an influence on the physical, chemical and biological properties of the solution.
Alaska and the former Soviet Union are separated by this body of water.?
Bering sea---Bering Strait----
What is the total amount of dissolved salt in water called?
The total amount of dissolved salts in ocean water is referred to as "Salinity". :)

An aquatic environments water blank refers to the amount of dissolved salts nutrient's and oxygen in the water?
An aquatic environment's water CHEMISTRY refers to the amount of dissolved salts, nutrients, and oxygen in the water. If you are in Mr. Sarau's class...nice going. haha

Are salts can be dissolved in the water?
Salts may be soluble or insoluble in water.
What does the salinity of seawater mean?
Salinity of water means the amount of dissolved salts in the water (not necessarily just Sodium chloride, but all salts).Salinity is measured as Total Dissolved Salts (TDS) and in concentrations of Parts per Million (PPM) or Parts per Ten Thousand (PPT)."Normal" Sea water ranges between 35,000 and 37,500 PPM of salts, the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf in the range of 40,000 - 45,000 PPM and the Dead Sea (saltiest sea on earth) about 80,000 PPM.To put that in context normal bottled water has a TDS of between 170 - 320 PPM of dissolved salts.
Why do bath salts dissolve in water?
Polar salts are easily dissolved in water.
What happens when salts are dissolved in water?
Ionic salts are dissociated in ions.
