1 Water can dissolve salt because the positive part of water molecules attracts the negative chloride ions and the negative part of water molecules attracts the positive sodium ions. 2  The amount of a substance that can dissolve in a liquid (at a particular temperature) is called the solubility of the substance.
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.
