Well, technically not an ion. I reckon that even given Moore's Law will 
continue to hold, it will be infeasible for at least the next thousand years 
for you to simulate a large enough water box that the dissociation equilibrium 
of NaCl will actually have a single NaCl molecule present. :-) Thus even if you 
succeed in finding reasonable parameters, I can't see how your simulation could 
mean anything.

Yes, but that's a non-trivial process. See
