A Coca Cola in the ocean

Hi random question

I am writing about an art work's results *which are still not yet clear* and I want to make a comparison to the coca cola in the ocean
but i forgot the fact

something along the lines that if you were to pour one cola in the ocean, its traces would reach up to 8 square miles

has anyone heard this and know the proper statistic?

thanks!

wow... 8 miles! I have never heard that.

I wonder how far a Mr. Pibb would travel...

Do you mean 8 cubic miles?

Anyway, google doesn't seem to have anything to say on the subject.

a serious question..does this theory apply to pissing in the ocean too?

Facts your question is missing:
What size coke?
What time period are you allowing?
What concentration level are we talking about?

A 1-liter bottle of coke hase 55 moles (approximately--I am assuming it is all water, which isn't far from the truth) in it...which is 3.32*10^25 molecules
The volume of all of the world's oceans is approximately 1.38 billion cubic kilometers, or 1.38*10^24 dif cubic centimeters.

This means that given enough time to diffuse, there would eventually be 30 moleculees that used to be in your coke bottle (at that concentration I'd hesitate to call it 'coke') in every cubic centimeter of water in every ocean in the entire world!

twistedmosaic - so answer my question then. ive definately pissed more than a litre in the ocean. why dont you calculate a litre for every person in the world, and throw some numbers back at me.

my chemistry days are well and truely over

Has dlish drank the coke, peed back into the bottle, then decanted the bottle into the ocean?

Actually, I watched a program that followed the patterns and paths of water melt in glaciers. A particular die was poured into open water at the top of the glacier and then a colour reading machine took samples from different streams and rivers beneath the glacier. A reading of the specific die molecules is possible, and the concentration tells the scientists how diffuse/how far away the original placement of the die sample was. Is it possible the data regarding metered dies could be transposed to fit your coke question?

i wish i did kramus...i wish i did.

the reason i ask, is that spend a lot of time in the sea, in the pool or around the pool teaching, so im just curious as to how much the water is tainted with things other than water?

you know, like when you swim in a pool and you swallow some water..each time that happens i always wonder how much urine i just drank.

kramus, thats an interesting doco. what was the name of it?

Hmm, not dilute enough to be homeopathic. I guess drinking sea water won't cure the high triglycerides caused by all the soda I drink Maybe if we had another few hundred thousand oceans ...

Sorry dlish, it was years ago and I only remember the fact that there was tracking of running water within glaciers. The crew seemed to be Northern European, but I just don't have any specifics that lead to a successful Google

Numbers thrown back? I'm surprised dolphins didn't throw back your piss-they're the ones who drank it, you porpoise pisser!


(and this is why my friend won't eat seafood. says he can't eat meat when the animal in question lived in its own piss, shit and semen)

The refrain "pissed on porpoise" kept echoing in my mind after I read this. Lame, I know.

I don't care so much about piss in the ocean as I do dead bodies. When a corpse decays in the ocean... how far does it's bits and pieces travel?

Depends..we talking inside the sharks or just floating about? I'm thinking they wouldn't be floating too long....
Don't think anyone from Oregon ever washed up in Mexico...

id be curious to see how much piss is in every litre of seawater. i think TM seems smart enough to crunch those sort of numbers.

as for porpoise pissing..well if flipper was here, id piss on him too. lets see him laugh now eh?

the little mungrel

I don't think the current runs that way. But, my dad's a cop and he's told me about people whose bodies have been found floating in the water for days with an advanced stage of decaying. I always wonder if bits and pieces of them are floating all over the place since fish eat a little messily.
