Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #121
Suppose that the water in a reef aquarium has an alkalinity of 2.5 meq/L (7 dKH), and a new batch of artificial seawater at the same temperature has an alkalinity of 4 meq/L (11 dKH). If 10% of the water in the aquarium is replaced by the new water, the final alkalinity in the aquarium will be closest to which of the following values?
A. 2.65 meq/L (7.4 dKH)
B. 2.85 meq/L (8.0 dKH)
C. 3.05 meq/L (8.5 dKH)
D. Not enough information is provided to properly answer
Good luck!
