Haha. Had I known that, I may not have been as likely to jump the chem ship for the wonderful world of metaphysics and epistemology and the untold fortunes that come them. :-D

I mean we're only talking about the difference of about 23,000,000,000,000,000,000 ions.

What's 23 quintillion between friends, right?

Well I guessed the top two correct, even though I didn't participate in time. These are great for showing how little I know LOL. Keep them coming Randy!

I wouldn't even have hazarded a guess as I was a physics guy way back in college and I hated chemistry. It's always been worse than a foreign language to me, and I totally suck at foreign languages.

Yes, I get too shorten Avagadro's number. I even get to call it Av's number for short. I don't get any special holiday's, however. :D

Seriously, I figured most reefers have so little interest in math that anything past the first digit just makes them hit the "next page" button. :)

There is math in reefing?!? I really should have paid more attention in school.

All you have to do is solve this equation and you'll know all the chemistry you need for reefing. :)

Ahhhhhh, no.

Let's just say I know more chemistry from reefing then I ever learned in school. Sad, but true.
