One gallon of sea water has 4 ounces of salt in it, on average. This means that if you dried the sea out to obtain the salt in it, there would be enough salt to put a layer of the chemical around the world 147 feet thick!

i know there is an average of thirty five grams of salt in a liter so there is 343,423,668,428,484,681,262 gallons of water in the ocean so you would have to know how many liters are in a gallon and then times it by 343,423,668,428,484,681,262 and then you would have to see how many grams are

in a liter and then divide it by the answer we just got and that should give you an approximate answer
