The most abundant cation in seawater is the sodium ion. The evaporation of seawater gives a mixture of ionic compounds containing sodium combined with chloride, sulfate, carbonate, bicarbonate, bromide, fluoride, and tetrahydroxybrate. [tetrahydroxyborate=B(OH)-4] Write the chemical formulas of all these compounds.
