Specific weight = density * g.
Since the density of sea water is more than pure & fresh water.
Therefore, specific weight is also more.

The density of sea water is more due to contaminants in sea water. So specific weight of sea water increases compare to pure water.

Sp.wt of sea water is more than sp.wt of pure water because it contains dissolved air, dissolved salt and suspended matter.
