Seawater contains much more than just salt (sodium chloride). You can find the details in the Wikipedia article on "Seawater", but here's the summary.

The salinity of seawater varies with location and time, but on average it contains about 3.5% of dissolved solids by weight, or 35 grams per kilogram. About 19.25 grams are Cl-, chloride (chlorine in its -1 valence) and 10.7 grams are Na+, sodium in its +1 valence. The rest is sulfate (the SO4- - ion), 2.7 grams; Mg++ (magnesium), 1.3 grams, calcium, potassium and other minor ingredients.

The gram formula mass of NaCl is 58.44. By definition, a gram formula mass of a compound contains Avogadro's Number, about 6.022 X 1023 units, of the compound, and in sodium chloride, each unit contains two ions. The number of ions in 1 g is therefore 2(1/58.44)(6.022 X 1023), or 2 X 1022, to the justifiable number of significant digits.

It would take roughly 28.6 litres of sea water to give you one kilogram of salt. As one litre of sea water holds 35 grams of salt.

How do you find percent of salt per weight Example Water Level 6417 feet above sea level Salt Content 51.3 grams per liter One liter weight 1kg or 1000 grams?

When salt is dissolved in water it does not increase the volume of the water. 51.3 grams of salt in 1000 grams of water is equal to .0513, or 5.13 percent salt.

What is the volume of a 50 kg person who can just barely float in fresh water?

Note: the fact that they are barely floating means that the person's density is equal to the density of water. Given: density of water = 1kg/litre Let V be the volume of the person. We want densityperson = densitywater => 50kg/V=1kg/litre =>V=50 litres Therefore the volume of the person is 50 litres.
