Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical name of the salt found abundantly in seawater is Sodium Chloride. Several salts are present in seawater, but the most abundant is ordinary table salt or sodium chloride (NaCl). Sodium chloride dissolves in water into its ions, It dissociates into Na+ and Cl-ions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Two of the most prevalent ions in seawater are chloride and sodium. Together, they make up around 85 percent of all dissolved ions in the ocean. Magnesium and sulfate make up another 10 percent of the total.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two ions that are present most often in seawater are chloride and sodium. These two make up over 90% of all dissolved ions in seawater. 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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sea salt is a general term for salt produced by evaporation of ocean water or water from saltwater lakes. It is less processed than table salt and retains trace minerals. These minerals add flavor and color. Sea salt is available as fine grains or crystals.
