Answer:
Ocean water is the type of mixture called a solution, because the salt is dissolved in the water. Water is the solvent, and sodium chloride is the solute. Water dissolves salt when water molecules attract and pull apart the sodium and chloride ions in salt crystals.

Seawater is a type of mixture of ionic substance like sodium chloride dissolved in the water.
- A solution is a mixture in which solute is dissolved in the solvent just like in seawater. Therefore, seawater is considered to be a type of mixture known as solution.
- Seawater contains ionic substances like salt crystals that contain sodium and chloride ions dissolved in the pure water that act as a solvent.
- It is a kind of saturated solution because whole of the sodium chloride present in the seawater will not get dissolved in the water.
- However, only 8.6% of the sea water is saturated with salt water and rest of 91.4% of water is present in pure form.
Hence, seawater is a type of solution that is saturated at a limited extent.
