Chemical Properties of Seawater
Global Surface Salinity Chemical Properties of Seawater
Rule of Constant Proportions –Ratio of ion/chloride constant –As total salinity changes, major ion concentrations change proportionately –Normal seawater – measure Cl, caluclate other major ion concentrations Chemical Properties of Seawater 35 o / oo total salinity –Ca o / oo Cl o / oo –Ca/Cl o / oo total salinity –Ca o / oo Cl o / oo –Ca/Cl
Rule of Constant Proportions Chemical Properties of Seawater
Measuring Salinity Chemical Properties of Seawater CTD conductivity, temperature, depth
Conservative Ions –Do not participate in chemical or biochemical reactions –Chloride Cl - –Sodium Na + –SulfateSO 4 ++ –MagnesiumMg ++ –CalciumCa ++ –PotassiumK + Non-Conservative Ions –Do NOT follow Rule of Constant Proportions –Variable concentration –Participate in chemical or biochemical reactions Bicarbonate CO 3 Nitrate NO 3 PhosphatePO 4 SilicaSiO 2 Chemical Properties of Seawater
