K_HSO4: K\_HSO4

In AquaEnv: Integrated Development Toolbox for Aquatic Chemical Model Generation

Description

PUBLIC function: calculates the dissociation constant of HSO4

Usage

K_HSO4(S, t, p=0, khso4="dickson")

Arguments

S	salinity in practical salinity units (i.e. no unit)
t	temperature in degrees centigrade
p	gauge pressure (total pressure minus atmospheric pressure) in bars
khso4	"dickson" or "khoo": specifies the S, t, dependency to be used. Default is "dickson". (see section below for references)

Value

the dissociation constant of HSO4 in mol/kg-solution on the free proton pH scale
