Answer:

The term salinity refers to the amount of dissolved salts that are present in water. Sodium and chloride are the predominant ions in seawater, and the concentrations of magnesium, calcium, and sulfate ions are also substantial.

  1. Salinity is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water. This is usually measured in salt(in grams)/sea water(in kilo grams).
  2. Salinity is an important factor in determining many aspects of the chemistry of natural waters and of biological processes within it, and is a thermodynamic state variable that, along with temperature and pressure, governs physical characteristics like the density and heat capacity of the water.
  3. A contour line of constant salinity is called an isohaline, or sometimes isohale.
