Which ions comprise about 85 percent of the solutes in seawater?

I don't know about percentages, but since sea water has a lot of salt, I would expect that to be sodium and chlorine. (That is the common table salt; sea water also has some other salts.)

What is the Coordination number?
Coordination number of an ion is the number of oppositely charged ions present around that ion as the neighbour ions , in that ionic crystal.
What are spectator ions in Na plus plus OH- plus Cl- H2O plus Na plus plus Cl?
Na+ and Cl- are spectator ions.
What are negative Electrolytes?
The negative ions are chloride, bicarbonate, and phosphate
In chemical notation Ca2 plus means what?
calcium ions that has lost electrons. It will give away electrons.
What is described by the terms body-centered cubic and face-centered cubic?
The arrangement of atoms or ions in a crystal.
What are solutes and what two ions comprise the majority of seawater?
These ions are Na+ and Cl-.
What ion makes up 7.7 percent of the ions in seawater?
sulfate
What are the predominant ions in seawater?
The most predominant ions in seawater are Na+,Mg+,I-,cl-.
What are the component of urine?
The chemical composition of urine varies widely depending upon the food and fluid intake.The components of urine are water and solutes. There is approximately 95 percent water in urine and the solutes are classified as ions and organic molecules.
What is the mistake in this statement magnesium and chloride make up most of the ions in seawater?
It should say, "Magnesium and CHLORINE make up most of the ions in seawater." Not chloride.
What process removes the major ions from seawater?
Reverse Osmosis
What is the most significant determination of the specific gravity of urine?
Specific gravity is determined by the solutes in the urine - the less solutes, the lower the specific gravity. In normal urine, the solutes are ions such as ammonium.
Why is pure water a bad conductor of water?
It contains few ions. Dirty water conducts electricity very well. Or Salt water. Pure water has no solutes and lacks ions usually associated with solutes.
What are the six ions in seawater?
The four MAIN IONS in seawater in descending order of abundance are: CI: Chloride Na: Sodium SO4: Sulfate Mg: magnesium Found in Leckie-Yuretich: Investigating the Ocean, Page 114, Seawater Salinity: The salt of the Ocean
What is the process by which oceans become acidic?
The more H2CO3 there is in seawater, the greater the number of hydrogen ions present. This decreases the pH of seawater, making it more acidic. Higher concentrations of H2CO3 also lessen the number of available carbonate ions (CO32).
The main ions in sea water are?
The four MAIN IONS in seawater in descending order of abundance are: CI: Chloride Na: Sodium SO4: Sulfate Mg: magnesium Found in Leckie-Yuretich: Investigating the Ocean, Page 114, Seawater Salinity: The salt of the Ocean
how do cola manufacturers make sure that the solutes dissolve quickly in the solvent?
a base is one that produces hydroxide ions
