Dissolution of salt in the ocean
Image 
The ions in the salt dissociate and are surrounded by water molecules forming clusters of a size greater than that of the original ion:

Once the ion is surrounded by water molecules, a second layer of molecules is formed, which are linked by bridges:

Specific conductivity measurement of seawater
Equation
The specific conductivity measured in seawater under atmospheric pressure can be empirically represented as
| $ \gamma_e = a T + b S + c T S + d $ |

Medición de salinidad
Equation
Dado que la resistencia del agua marina depende de su salinidad, se puede medir la resistencia para determinar el nivel de salinidad. Esto se hace comparando las conductividades de una muestra de agua marina con una solución standard de KCl (clorato de potasio). Se miden la conductividad especifica de ambas muestras a una temperatura de 15C y 1 atm de presión y establece la relación\\n\\n
$K=\sqrt{\displaystyle\frac{\gamma_w}{\gamma_{KCl}}}$
y calcula la salinidad con
| $ S = a_0 + a_1 K + a_2 K^2 + a_3 K^3 + a_4 K^4 + a_5 K^5$ |
con
a_0=0.0080
a_1=-0.1692
a_2=25.3851
a_3=14.0941
a_4=-7.0261
a_5=2.7081
