  7. I'm sure we both mean the same thing. pH ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral. pHs less than 7 are acidic while pHs greater than 7 are alkaline (basic). So seawater is basic and could never, given the chemistry of eroding rocks and existing reefs, become acidic. You say it is becoming acidic - the data may suggest it could become less alkaline, I don't know.
  8. Seawater has a PH of 8.1 which makes it quite alkaline. It is impossible for it to become acidic.

    One approach gives me TS. The other finds a pattern in the anagram of COWBOYS but I can’t think of how that leads to an answer. I am trying!

    Thanks, I didn’t really expect an answer! But I am still puzzling over the question. Hope someone can solve it.
  21. Hang on a bit. You lost roughly 1kg of water so they now weigh about 99kg. That isn't exact, but I cant be bothered solving the equation.
