Assuming the question is asking about Sea Water, the Wikipedia entry on "seawater" says "Seawateris water from a sea or ocean. On average, seawater in the world's oceans has a salinity of about 3.5% (35 g/L, or 599 mM). This means that every kilogram (roughly one litre by volume) of seawater has approximately 35 grams (1.2 oz) of dissolved salts...". So, to convert this to pounds and gallons, there are 3.78 liters per gallon and 16 ounces per pound. If I did the arithmetic correctly, that would be 0.28 pounds (4.5 oz) per gallon.

How many pounds does sea water weigh per cubic foot?
About 2.2 pounds of salt in a cubic foot of sea water. There are about 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot and sea water weighs about 8.5 pounds per gallon (63.58 pounds). Sea water is about 3.5 % salt (usually reported as 35 ppt or parts per thousand). So 63.58 x .035 = 2.2 pounds of salt.
How much does a gallon of bromine weigh?
Approximately 7.231 pounds The bulk density of table salt is 1.154 g/cm3. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt) One gallon is approximately 3785 cubic centimeters. Weight = Volume/Density=3785/1.154=3280. g [to four significant figures] There 453.6g per pound. So 3280.g=3280/453.6=7.231 pounds

What does a gallon of water with 3 pounds of salt weigh How do you determine this new weight Water weighs 8.345 pounds per gallon and so with 3 pounds of salt dissolved should weigh?
Density = 8.345 lb/gallon (this is an odd density, because density changes depending on temperature, and this number is actually for 40°F water, but that's not relevant to this question)Density (d) = Mass (m) / Volume (V)d = m/Vm = Vdm = (1 gallon ) ( 8.345 lbs / gallon ) = 8.345 lbsThe water (without the salt) weighs 8.345 lbsIf you add 3 lbs of salt, you are just adding 3 lbs of salt. Just add 3 to the weight. This part is just to trip you up.8.345 + 3 = 11.345 lbsThe water with the salt weighs 11.345 lbs.
If you add 1pound of salt and 1 pound of sugar to 1 gallon of water does the weight of the water go up by 2 pounds?
