Wiki sez | Quote: |
The salinity of Great Salt Lake is highly variable, and depends on the lake's level; it ranges from 5 to 27%[6] (or 50-270 ppt). The ionic composition
is similar to seawater, much more so than the Dead Sea's; compared to the ocean, Great Salt Lake's waters are slightly enriched in potassium, and
depleted in calcium. |
Might try looking here:
http://ut.water.usgs.gov/salinity/index.html
Here http://www.davisareacvb.com/attractions/antelopeislandfacts.... it states | Quote: | | The minerals in the lake are distributed as follows: 55.4 percent chloride, 32 percent sodium, 6.6 percent sulfate, 3.2 percent magnesium and 2.6
percent potassium. The lake also contains smaller amounts of calcium, bromine, lithium, boron and other minerals.[\quote] |
