Detailed explanation-1: -Sea water salinity is expressed as a ratio of salt (in grams) to liter of water. In sea water there is typically close to 35 grams of dissolved salts in each liter. It is written as 35 ‰ The normal range of ocean salinity ranges between 33-37 grams per liter (33‰-37‰).

Detailed explanation-2: -Salinity is amount of salt present in 1000 grams of water. The average salinity of the oceans is 35 parts per thousand.

Detailed explanation-3: -The concentration of salt in seawater (its salinity) is about 35 parts per thousand; in other words, about 3.5% of the weight of seawater comes from the dissolved salts. In a cubic mile of seawater, the weight of the salt (as sodium chloride) would be about 120 million tons.

Detailed explanation-4: -Detailed Solution Salinity is the amount of salt in grams present in 1000 grams of water. The average salinity of oceans is 35 parts per 1000. The Dead Sea in Israel has a salinity of 340 grams per liter of water.

Detailed explanation-5: -The salinity of normal ocean water is about 35 parts per 1, 000, total dissolved solids. This is written as 35‰ or 35 ppth. A salinity of 35‰ is the same as 3.5%. The symbol resembles a percentage sign (%), but percent means per 100.
