calc_K: Calculate a single equilibrium constant

In kgen: A Tool for Calculating Stoichiometric Equilibrium Constants (Ks) for Seawater

Calculate a single equilibrium constant

Description

Calculate a specified stoichiometric equilibrium constant at given temperature, salinity, pressure and the concentration of magnesium, calcium, sulphate, and fluorine.

Usage

calc_K(
  k,
  temp_c = 25,
  sal = 35,
  p_bar = NULL,
  magnesium = 0.0528171,
  calcium = 0.0102821,
  sulphate = NULL,
  fluorine = NULL,
  method = "MyAMI"
)

Arguments

k	K to be calculated
temp_c	Temperature (Celsius)
sal	Salinity
p_bar	Pressure (Bar) (optional)
magnesium	Magnesium concentration in mol/kgsw. If None, modern is assumed (0.0528171). Should be the average magnesium concentration in seawater - a salinity correction is then applied to calculate the magnesium concentration in the sample.
calcium	Calcium concentration in mol/kgsw. If None, modern is assumed (0.0102821). Should be the average calcium concentration in seawater - a salinity correction is then applied to calculate the magnesium concentration in the sample.
sulphate	Sulphate concentration in mol/kgsw. Calculated from salinity if not given.
fluorine	Fluorine concentration in mol/kgsw. Calculated from salinity if not given.
method	Options: R_Polynomial, MyAMI_Polynomial , MyAMI (defaults to "MyAMI").

Value

Specified K at the given conditions
