calc_Ks: Calculate equilibrium constants for seawater

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

Calculate equilibrium constants for seawater

Description

Wrapper to calculate multiple stoichiometric equilibrium constants at given temperature, salinity, pressure and the concentration of magnesium, calcium, sulphate, and fluorine.

Usage

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

Arguments

ks	character vectors of Ks to be calculated e.g., c("K0", "K1")
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

Data.table of specified Ks at the given conditions
