  1. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: Chemicals dissolved in water Abundant Less Abundant (not trace)

  2. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: Solubility of Gases

  3. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: Oxygen Solubility and temperature

  4. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: Pressure and Solubility

  5. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: supersaturation http://weberian.handrewlynch.net/

  6. Solubility of oxygen: Differences in fresh and salt water Thank you to Tianlu Shen for this question!

  7. Solubility of oxygen: The salting out effect When dissolved in water, NsCl dissociates into a positively charged sodium ion and a negatively charged chloride ion. Water molecules are attracted to these ions and orient around them as waters of hydration. Due to the polar nature of the water molecule, it associates with ions or other molecules (including other water molecules) possessing a positive or negative charge. Gases such as oxygen dissolve less readily in water that is bonded in this manner. We might say that the salt ‘competes’ with the gases for the water molecules. Where there is a great deal of salt present, as in marine waters, a significant number of water molecules are present as waters of hydration. Thus, less oxygen will dissolve in water with a high salt content than in ‘fresh’ water. Snoeyink, V.L. and D. Jenkins. 1980. Water Chemistry.

  8. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: Ph In pure water … and thus … and since pH is defined as… for pure water , [Note that a little H+ goes a long way in terms of effect!]

  9. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: the carbonate system

  10. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: The carbonate system taking the negative log of both sides … and when pH = pK1 and when pH = pK2

  11. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: The carbonate system • at pH<pK1, carbonic acid dominates • at pH between pK1 and pK2, bicarbonate dominates; and • at pH>pK2, carbonate dominates

  12. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: The carbonate system The fraction of DIC present in each form can be calculated as f (pH) (Chapra, 1997, p. 685

  13. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: The carbonate system and the concentration of each component is given by …

  14. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: The carbonate system photosynthetic withdrawal of carbon dioxide … According to LeChatlier’s Principle, the equilibrium would move to the left, consuming H+ and raising the pH. While, at first glance, this looks to reduce the concentration of carbonate, the increase in pH re-distributes the DIC species, leading to an increase in the carbonate concentration.

  21. Chemistry and Biogeochemical Cycling: Organic carbon – Redox reactions In each redox reaction, an electron donor contributes electrons and is oxidized (i.e. becomes more positive) and electron acceptor receives electrons and is reduced (i.e. becomes more negative). For oxidation of organic carbon by oxygen, the half-reactions are,
