The stoichiometric model of organic decomposition in seawater
(Redfield, Ketchum, and Richards, 1963) was used to describe the
oceanic distribution of total carbon dioxide. It was assumed that the
concentration of total carbon dioxide was the sum of three terms:
(1) the initial concentration of carbon dioxide, (2) the increase...
A graphical method, based on a set of acid-base titrations, is
presented for the determination of the carbon dioxide speciation in
natural solutions. The application of this method, in conjunction
with measurements of the partial pressure of carbon dioxide with
which our solutions were in equilibrium permitted the calculation
of...
The apparent dissociation constants of carbonic acid were
determined as functions of temperature and salinity in seawater
at atmospheric pressure.
There is fair agreement between my values of K'₁ and those
of Buch et al. (1932), Lyman (1956), and Hansson (1971). My values,
on the average, are 6.7% lower than...
