The cross product satisfies the general identity. (7). Note that is not a usual polar vector, but has slightly different transformation properties and is therefore a so-called pseudovector (Arfken 1985, pp. 22-23). Jeffreys and Jeffreys (1988) use the notation to denote the cross product.
Six Most Abundant Elements Dissolved in Ocean Water. Sodium chloride is the prevalent ionic compound found in seawater, accounting for about 85 percent of the dissolved salt. Sodium chloride is better known as common table salt. The salty taste of ocean water is due to the presence of sodium chloride in the water. When measuring the concentration of salt ions in seawater, the ratio of the six abundant ions remains constant. In other words, if you dried up all the water in the ocean, each remaining pile of salt, regardless its location in the world, would contain about 55.03 percent chloride, 30.59 percent sodium.
Ocean salinity (expressed in-per mil) is approximately equal to the weight, in grams, of salts dissolved in 1000g of seawater. This would be the salt concentration in parts-per-thousand (). Average ocean water has a salinity of 35g of dissolved salts.Expressed in %, it would be 96.5% pure water molecules and 3.5% of salts, dissolved gases, organic materials and undissolved particles. This means that 1000g of average seawater contains 965 grams of water and 35 grams of salts.n case of a saline solution (seawater included), it means that an Isotonic solution is 9 (that's NOT 9% - that's PARTS PER THOUSAND) salt and 991 purified water. In a roundabout way, one might say that Isotonic seawater has only 1/3 the salt content of regular ocean water (not the Dead Sea!).
