Answer to Question 1

 The Forchhammer principle is known as the principle of constant proportions. Georg Forchhammer realized that the ratio of major dissolved solids were constant in various samples of seawater.
 There is approximately 55.05 of chloride ions found in high and low salinity waters. He looked at samples from the Northern Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean to measure these ratios.
 William Ditmar was able to provide more evidence for this principle as he analyzed samples taken in the HMS Challenger.
 Constituents that have residence times longer than it takes for the ocean to mix assures a thorough mixing. They become evenly distributed throughout the ocean.

Answer to Question 2

False
