Measurement of the apparent dissociation constants of carbonic acid in seawater at atmospheric pressure

The apparent dissociation constants of carbonic acid were
determined as functions of temperature and salinity in seawater
at atmospheric pressure.
There is fair agreement between my values of K'₁ and those
of Buch et al. (1932), Lyman (1956), and Hansson (1971). My values,
on the average, are 6.7% lower than Buch et al.'s (1932), 4.6%
smaller than Lyman's (1956), and 4.0% higher than Hansson's (1972).
My values for K'₂ are smaller than those reported by other
workers. They differ by 3.4% from Hansson's (1972) values, and
26% from Buch's (1938). Lyman's (1956) values are larger than
mine by 3.2% at temperatures of 25°C and below, and greater by
13.4% at 35°C. / Graduation date: 1973
