    1Chemical Equilibrium in SeawaterR. M. PYTKOWICZ, E. ATLAS, and C. H. CULBERSONSchool of Oceanography, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Ore. 97331

    The concept of chemical equilibrium can be applied to theoceans in three ways; it enters the study of the geochemical control of the oceanic composition, for fast reactions equilibriumconstants are used to calculate the concentrations of speciespresent in seawater, and for slow reactions departures fromequilibrium are useful for kinetic studies.Seawater differs from the solutions that are usuallyexamined by chemists because of the large number of solutesand , at times, of suspended particles that are present in theoceans. Also, one must consider the concurrent effects ofpurely chemical, hydrographic, biological, and geologicalprocesses upon the composition of seawater. One must consider as well the gravitational field and pressure, temperature,and compositional gradients that result from the extent anddepth of the oceans.

    The study of the equilibrium chemistry of the oceans isfacilitated because the major ions are present in almost constantproportions. This makes seawater an ionic mediumwhich canbe characterized by one compositional parameter, the chlorinityor the salinity. The constancy of the relative composition is notalways present in estuaries because river water, which mixeswith seawater, has its major ions in proportions which differfrom those in seawater. Still, it will be shown that equilibriumdata obtained for seawater can often be applied to estuarinewaters.

    In this work we will first examine briefly the compositionof seawater. Then, we will outline some major aspects ofequilibria as applied to the oceans. Next, we will consider towhat extent these equilibrium considerations are relevant toestuaries and finally, we will examine some topics on the control of the oceanic composition.

    AbstractConcurrent chemical, biological and geologicalprocesses,

    in addition to the presence of the gravitational potential and oftemperature andpressure gradients must be taken into consideration in the study of chemical equilibria in the oceans. A simplifying feature occurs because the approximate constant ratios ofthe concentrations of the major ions mean that seawater is anionic medium of constant relative composition. Estuarine watersdiffer from normal seawater because of time and spacial variations in composition due to the input of river water. The equilibrium chemistry of estuarine waters has not been studiedtoany significant extent but it will be shown that equilibrium data

    for open ocean waters are often applicable to estuaries.Literature Cited1. Pytkowicz, R. M., Kester, D. R., "Oceanogr. Mar. Biol.
