In this section dedicated to seawater, we are going to try to know everything about seawater or oceanic waters, doing experiments in summer, on the beach and getting to know all the secrets of one of the most important components of the Earth. From the physical and chemical parameters, such as pH, density, salinity, as well as its components and what conclusions we can draw from seawater.<\/p>\n

PHYSICO-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS OCEAN WATER<\/h2>\n

SEA WATER TEMPERATURE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sea Water Temperature<\/a>. One of the most intuitive values in the sea. Know the variations, and values by geographical areas as well as how to measure it to take reference values.<\/p>\n

PH<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The pH<\/a> is one of the most important factors when talking about the SEA WATER<\/strong> and the ocean. It is one of the values that will give you the health of the ocean, or sea. The ocean is the largest self-regulator of pH on the planet and thus enables life on the planet.<\/p>\n

Seawater pH<\/a>. One of the most important chapters when talking about seawater. A value that indicates the balance of a large part of the chemical processes in the sea. The pH is a very simple value to measure that will give us great information about the health of the water around us.<\/p>\n

DENSITY OF SEAWATER<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Water density<\/a>. One of the most important factors influencing the behaviour of water is its density. Density is linked to temperature, pressure and salinity. The density of seawater is directly related to its salt content. The higher the salinity of the water, the higher its density will be. We will notice the density because we will float more in denser water than in less dense water. For example in the Dead Sea (see photo), thanks to its high salt content it will have a high density and it will be easier for us to float in the Dead Sea. See water density values<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Agua<\/p>\n

Another consequence that we will notice related to density is that denser water will weigh more and will sink to the bottom. That's why you may have noticed that when you get into the sea you feel that the water is much colder on the legs than on the upper part.<\/p>\n

How to measure the density of water<\/a>. Given the intimate relationship of density with salinity and conductivity in water, we will measure density by measuring salt content.<\/p>\n

SALINITY OR CONDUCTIVITY<\/h3>\n

The salinity in water<\/a> is the salt content of the water. Salinity is what gives water its density, which is why they are such closely related terms and practically the study of the density of water will give you a lot of information about salinity and vice versa. Both are often measured through the conductivity of the water. That is why when talking about the properties of water, salinity, density or conductivity are sometimes used interchangeably.<\/p>\n

The term salinity is fundamental because whether it is seawater, tap water, swimming pool water, drinking water, mineral water, etc., water\u00a0contains a degree of salinity<\/strong>. The salt content will give it the real properties that we are going to find later in the water. The pH, the\u00a0conductivity<\/a>. Pure water H2O does not conduct electricity and has a base density of 1g\/cm3. However, water conducts electricity due to its salt content and has a higher density depending on its content and temperature.<\/p>\n

The terms salinity, conductivity and density are closely related and will be measured in a similar way, through conductivity. See conductivity measurement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EXPERIMENTS WITH SEAWATER<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Go to the section of experiments with seawater<\/a> >> As is the basis of our website, experimentoscientificos.es, where the basis is experimentation and experiments, we want you to learn about sea and ocean water by seeing it with your own eyes. Simple experiments that you can do on the beach, with few tools, and that will help you to understand chemistry in a much broader way than you are used to.<\/p>\n

All the theory you can see below, temperature, pH, salinity, tested by yourself. Enter the section on\u00a0Experiments with seawater<\/a> and join us!<\/p>\n

CLIMATE REGULATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The ocean is responsible for regulating the planet's climate. In other words, it is thanks to the ocean that the temperature is kept within reasonable values, without major variations. One of the best known currents is the gulf stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Gulf Stream is a large ocean current that transports warm water to cool in the North Atlantic. As it cools in the Atlantic it sinks, continuing the cycle until it warms near the tropics. Read more about the Gulf Stream<\/a><\/p>\n
