The water of the oceans (11) contains about 3.5% by weight of dissolved inorganic salts in addition to organic substances and any suspended matter which may be present. The quantities and identities or these ions have been the subject of much investigation and are now generally accepted. The dissolved salts have a profound effect on many of the physical properties of sea water. Surprisingly, although the total weight of dissolved salts is not always the same, it has been found that the relative proportions of the various major constituents remain virtually unchanged, except when extreme dilution is encountered.
