Answer: 35 grams of salt for every 1,000 grams of water

Explanation:

<u>Salinity is the content of salt dissolved in a body of water.</u> It is generally defined as the total amount in grams of dissolved salt contained in a kilogram (or 1000 grams) of seawater, and this is called ppt:

1 ppt=\frac{1 g [disolved-salts]}{1000 g [seawater]}

So, if we have a salinity of 35 ppt this is equivalent to 35 grams of disolved salts in 1000 grams of seawater:

35 ppt=\frac{35 g [disolved-salts]}{1000 g [seawater]}

This is in fact a dimensionless value, which was defined in 1902 in this way by the amount of sodium chloride present in water as a measure of its salinity.
