Understanding Salinity in Seawater: Density, Composition, and Variations

Seawater is denser than freshwater due to dissolved mineral matter, contributing to its salty flavor. Salinity, measured in ppt, indicates the grams of minerals per kg of seawater. The average salinity is 35 ppt, varying between 33-38 ppt. Distillation is essential to purify water by removing dissol
