K_NH4 {AquaEnv}R Documentation

K_NH4

Description

PUBLIC function: calculates the dissociation constant of NH4

Usage

K_NH4(S, t, p=0, SumH2SO4=NULL, SumHF=NULL)

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
SumH2SO4 total sulfate concentration in mol/kg-solution (calculated from S if not supplied)
SumHF total fluoride concentration in mol/kg-solution (calculated from S if not supplied)

Value

the dissociation constant of NH4 in mol/kg-solution on the free proton pH scale
