in the Strait o Malacca  Seawatter or saut watter is watter frae
a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the warld's oceans haes
a salinity o aboot 3.5% (35 g/L, or 599 mM). This means that
every kilogram (roughly ane litre bi volume) o seawatter has
approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) o dissolved sauts (predominantly
sodium (Na+ ) an chloride (Cl ) ions). Average density at the
surface is 1.025 g/ml. Seawatter is denser nor baith fresh
watter an pure watter (density 1.0 g/ml @ 4 °C (39 °F)) acause
the dissolved sauts add mass wioot contributin signeeficantly
tae the volume. The freezing pynt o seawatter decreases as saut
concentration increases. At typical salinity it freezes at aboot
−2 °C (28 °F).[1] The cauldest seawatter ever recorded (in a
liquid state) wis in 2010, in a stream unner an Antarctic
glacier, an measured −2.6 °C (27.3 °F).[2]  References[eedit |
