pH: Potentiometric pH

In seacarb: Calculates parameters of the seawater carbonate system

Description

Calculation of potentiometric pH

Usage

	pH(Ex=-67,Etris=-72.4,S=35,T=25)
	

Arguments

Ex	e.m.f. of the seawater sample in mV, default is 67
Etris	e.m.f. of the TRIS buffer in mV, default is -72.4
S	Salinity, default is 35
T	Temperature in degrees Celsius, default is 25oC

Details

Note that the arguments can be given as a unique number or as vectors. If the lengths of the vectors are different, the longer vector is retained and only the first value of the other vectors is used. It can therefore be critical to use vectors of the same length.

Value

pH	Potentiometric pH (in mol/kg on the total scale)
