Document Summary

There are many soluble minerals in the ocean. Ater on the shores of new jersey have 3. 5% of salt in 60ml of water. E can find this out by boiling the water and letting it evaporate, so that there is only salt left. The salt content is different in different oceans. In the galapagos islands the water has a higher salt content (3. 8%) because there is little freshwater there, and it is warmer over there. In dead sea there is 32% of salt, and people can easily float in it. Elements in salts: sodium, potassium, magnesium, chlorine/chloride. Calcium, sodium, and magnesium have outer electrons that can be easily removed, and they then have positive charges. They can then be combined with negatively charged species like bicarbonate, chloride, and sulfate. How ionic species combine to make salt. Gypsum= calcium + sulfate (ca++ and so4=) Calcium has two positive charges, and sulfate has two negative charges, so they balance each other out.
