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.
1 Salinity is approximately equal to the weight, in grams, of salt dissolved in 1000 g of seawater. 2  This would be the salt concentration in parts per thousand 3  (). Average ocean water has a salinity of 35.0. 4  This means that 1000 g of average seawater contains 965 g of water and 35 g of salts.t has roughly 2/3 the salt content of regular seawater. 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 ().
