pbSi {bSi}

Calculate %bSi

Description

Calculate the bSi percent based on the provided formula.

Usage

pbSi(
  C0,
  Vol_Na2CO3,
  Molar_mass_silicon,
  sample_dry_weight,
  output_dir = tempdir()
)

Arguments

C0

Concentration of silica from biogenic sources (mole/L).

Vol_Na2CO3

Vol. Na2CO3 (L) for samples digested in 40.0 ml Na2CO3.

Molar_mass_silicon

Molar mass of silicon (g/mole).

sample_dry_weight

Dry sample weight, the measured weight of each sample in grams (0.05 +/- 0.005g).

output_dir

The directory where the output CSV file should be saved. Defaults to the temporary directory (tempdir()).

Value

%bSi value calculated using the formula.

Examples

C0 <- 0.01# Concentration of silica from biogenic sources mol/L
Vol_Na2CO3 <- 0.04  # Vol. Na2CO3 (L)
Molar_mass_silicon <- 28.09  # Molar mass of silicon (g/mol)
sample_dry_weight <- 0.05  # Sample dry weight (g)
result <- pbSi(C0, Vol_Na2CO3, Molar_mass_silicon, sample_dry_weight, output_dir = tempdir())
print(result)
