Abstract:Ionic strength (I; mol·L−1) acts as one of the most important parameters of natural waters. It is indispensable for obtaining ion activities and thus is crucial for describing chemical processes in water solutions. Limnology, I, has many applications, but calculating the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) and the carbonate saturation index (SI) are among the most important examples. The determination of I requires the full ion composition of water to be recognized, and when the concentration of some major ion(s) i… Show more
