Sea water contains 3.5% salts, dissolved gasses, organic substances and undissolved particulate matter. The presence of salts influences most physical properties of sea water to some degree but does not determine them. Some properties are not significantly affected by salinity. Two properties which are determined by the amount of salt in the sea are conductivity and osmotic pressure.

Ideally, salinity should be the sum of all dissolved salts in grams per kilogram of sea water. In practice, this is difficult to measure. The observation that - no matter how much salt is in the sea - the various components contribute in a fixed ratio, helps overcome the difficulty. It allows determination of salt content through the measurement of a substitution quantity and calculation of the total of all material making up the salinity from that measurement.

Determination of salinity could thus be made through its most important component, chloride. Chloride content was defined in 1902 as the total amount in grams of chlorine ions contained in one kilogram of sea water if all the halogens are replaced by chlorides. The definition reflects the chemical titration process for the determination of chloride content and is still of importance when dealing with historical data.

Salinity was defined in 1902 as the total amount in grams of dissolved substances contained in one kilogram of sea water if all carbonates are converted into oxides, all bromides and iodides into chlorides, and all organic substances oxidized. The relationship between salinity and chloride was determined through a series of fundamental laboratory measurements based on sea water samples from all regions of the world ocean and was given as

So the correct answer would be

High salinity and cold temperature result in denser water.

Search coils and credit cards. one practical way to measure magnetic field strength uses a small, closely wound coil called a search coil. the coil is initially held with its plane perpendicular to a magnetic field. the coil is then either quickly rotated a quarter-turn about a diameter or quickly pulled out of the field. (a) derive the equation relating the total charge q that flows through a search coil to the magnetic-field magnitude b. the search coil has n turns, each with area a, and the flux through the coil is decreased from its initial maximum value to zero in a time ∆t. the resistance of the coil is r, and the total charge is q = i∆t, where i is the average current induced by the change in flux. (b) in a credit card reader, the magnetic strip on the back of a credit card is rapidly “swiped” past a coil within the reader. explain, using the same ideas that underlie the operation of a search coil, how the reader can decode the information stored in the pattern of magnetization on the strip. (c) is it necessary that the credit card be “swiped” through the reader at exactly the right speed? why or why not?
