Reef Chemistry Puzzle #10

A word scramble. All words relate to reef chemistry. Some are harder than others. I had pH in the list and decided to remove it. lol

See how many you can get before running out of patience!

1. ITTNERA
2. CIITRC
3. UMLCICA
4. KVAOD
5. AHOTSHEPP
6. TALYINLAKI
7. AESMMNIGU
8. NGCORAINI
9. LAISYITN
10. EEREPTRTMAU
11. GIFTYCERVISI PAC
12. OICAGRN
13. NDCTYUOICITV
14. EEOIXRPD
15. CUTAIIRM
16. AIEGNVR

Good luck!

I got them all pretty quickly except for one where a mean guy put an extra S on the end that messed me up.

You are clearly better at these sorts of puzzles than I am, but which one has an extra S? I might have messed up when inputting these into a scramble program, but I cannot now tell which one?

I see citric, conductivity and organic.

Are there any of theese for dumb pepole like me?

All I made out was cap on 11.

Maybe I should have left hp on the list.

Maybe I should have left hp on the list.

I think so...

Maybe if I just say I got them all to seem smart.

One comment about 11. Apparently, the scramble program I used just uses 2 words to indicate there are two words, not that the letter or even the numbers of letters in each word are correct. Strange, I'll admit, but I don't do scrambles for fun, so am not sure what the usual rules are.

Maybe I just wrote down an extra S on phopshate. I had phosphates on my sheet.

It helps to write these down - like actually write the letters.

Vinegar
Muriatic
Peroxide
Conductivity
Organic
Specific Gravity

I’m really bad at unscrambling words.


Citric
Vodka
Organic
Vinegar

That’s all I could find.

I found a most already named and will add salinity, inorganic, and (#17) ph. ;-)

In case folks are frustrated, here are the answers:

1. ITTNERA = NITRATE
2. CIITRC = CITRIC
3. UMLCICA = CALCIUM
4. KVAOD = VODKA
5. AHOTSHEPP = PHOSPHATE
6. TALYINLAKI = ALKALINITY
7. AESMMNIGU = MAGNESIUM
8. NGCORAINI = INORGANIC
9. LAISYITN = SALINITY
10. EEREPTRTMAU = TEMPERATURE
11. GIFTYCERVISI PAC = SPECIFIC GRAVITY
12. OICAGRN = ORGANIC
13. NDCTYUOICITV = CONDUCTIVITY
14. EEOIXRPD = PEROXIDE
15. CUTAIIRM = MURIATIC
16. AIEGNVR = VINEGAR
