Seawater can be characterized by the following average values. What is the molal concentration of ions in seawater? Show how you arrived at your answer. density - 1.022 g/mL total mass of ions = 35.17 g/kg concentration of ions = 1.15 M
Added by Jose C.
Step 1
Given that the total mass of ions in seawater is 35.17 g/kg, we can convert this to grams per liter by multiplying by the density of seawater (1.022 g/mL): 35.17 g/kg * 1 kg/L = 35.17 g/L Show more…
