The measure of the amount of dissolved salts in a given amount of liquid is called

a. desalinization.

c. salinity.

b. the water cycle.

d. evaporation.

The answer is Salinity. Salinity is defined as the measurement of salts dissolved in a liquid. By "salt", it isn't limited to the common table salt which is sodium chloride (NaCl). Salt also pertains to magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), potassium nitrate (KNO3), and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3). Salinity is often used to measure the amount of salt in bodies of water to determine its properties such as density and heat capacity.
