Question
Why is the density of seawater more than that of rain water?
Short Answer
Solution
Sea water has more density than rainwater because it contains salt ions. These salt ions make the seawater heavier, which means the mass of the water increases due to the presence of salt ions. From the relation, density = mass/volume, we can say that as the mass of an object increases, its density also increases simultaneously.
