document.write( "Seawater has a salinity of roughly 35,000 ppm, equivalent to 35 grams of salt per one liter (or kilogram) of water. \r\n" );
document.write( "The saturation level is dependent on the temperature of the water. At 20 °C one milliliter of water can dissolve \r\n" );
document.write( "about 0.357 grams of salt; a concentration of 26.3%.\r\n" );
