Pcoeffs {seacarb}

Coefficients used for pressure-correcting the equilibrium constants

Description

Pressure corrections are based on the following equations:

\ln{\frac{K_{i}^{P}}{K_{i}^{0}}} = -\frac{\Delta V_{i}}{RT}.P + 0.5\frac{\Delta K_{i}}{RT}.P^{2}

with

\Delta V_{i} = a_{0} + a_{1}T + a_{2}T^{2}

and

\Delta K_{i} = b_{0} + b_{1}T + b_{2}T^{2}

The variables are:

• K indicating the type of equilibrium constant

• coefficient a_0

• coefficient a_1

• coefficient a_2

• coefficient b_0

• coefficient b_1

• coefficient b_2

Usage

Pcoeffs

Format

A data frame with 15 rows and 7 variables

Details

For Kb, to be consistent with Millero (1979) a2 was changed to -2.608e-3 instead of 2.608e-3 (value given in Millero, 1995) For Kw, coefficients are from Millero (1983).
