Sea water
has a density ranging from 1.027 to 1.028 cm-3.
The pH of
the sea water is essentially constant at 8.1 plus minus 0.2.
The average
chlorinity of sea water is 19‰.
Relation
between salinity and chlorinity is S‰ = 1.80655 x Cl‰.
The depth at
which the rate of dissolution of calcite equals to the rate of supply from
above is called Calcite Compensation depth (CCD).
