Reef Chemistry Question of the Day #280:
Which of the following is the best analogy of ion spacing in seawater?
A. The ions in seawater are spaced like a 20 ducks on a 1 acre pond
B. The ions in seawater are spaced like 4 people on a 747 jet
C. The ions in seawater are spaced like 2 ice cubes in a glass of water
D. The ions in seawater are spaced like 3 kittens in a single carrier.
Yes, I know, it's an odd way to ask the question, but I think many reefers have little intuition of what the relevant spacing is and I hope we can learn from it.
Hint: There was a relevant Reef Chemistry question of the day about 5 years ago. lol
