Answer 1

Answer: Sodium chloride

Explanation:

Ocean water contains a number of substances. When a substance which has ionic bonds is dissolved in water it takes the form of ions.

The most common ions in ocean water are sodium and chloride. These are the ions formed when common salt, sodium chloride (NaCl) is dissolved in water.

Sodium chloride accounts for about 3% of ocean water by mass.

Answer 2

Answer:

By far, the most abundant elements are hydrogen and water.

Explanation:

The analysis of the 77 sea water samples taken during the Challenger's 3-year voyage did much to lay the foundations for determining the chemical content of sea water. By far, the most abundant elements are hydrogen and water (combined to make water). Together, these elements make up 96% of sea water. Sodium chloride and magnesium make up just under 4% of sea water. Trace amounts of 97 other elements are found in the remaining 0.08%. Of the trace elements, calcium, potassium, sulfur, and bromine are the most abundant.
