Wikipedia

  1. saltwater

    Saline water (more commonly known as salt water) is water that contains a high concentration of dissolved salts (mainly sodium chloride). On the United States Geological Survey (USGS) salinity scale, saline water is saltier than brackish water, but less salty than brine. The salt concentration is usually expressed in parts per thousand (permille, ‰) and parts per million (ppm). The USGS salinity scale defines three levels of saline water. The salt concentration in slightly saline water is 1,000 to 3,000 ppm (0.1–0.3%); in moderately saline water is 3,000 to 10,000 ppm (0.3–1%); and in highly saline water is 10,000 to 35,000 ppm (1–3.5%). Seawater has a salinity of roughly 35,000 ppm, equivalent to 35 grams of salt per one liter (or kilogram) of water. The saturation level is only nominally dependent on the temperature of the water. At 20 °C (68 °F) one liter of water can dissolve about 357 grams of salt, a concentration of 26.3% w/w. At boiling (100 °C (212 °F)) the amount that can be dissolved in one liter of water increases to about 391 grams, a concentration of 28.1% w/w.

  1. saltwater

    Saltwater is a general term for water that has a significant concentration of dissolved salts, typically sodium chloride (table salt). The most common source of saltwater is the ocean, which makes up about 97% of Earth's water. Saltwater can also be found in salt pans, salt lakes, and underground reservoirs. It is typically not safe for direct human consumption due to its high salinity.
