Dr. Parkhurs, Thank you very much for your prompt response. For exchange species activity is equivalent fractioons which is explained in page 12 of manual. {activity} = Gama*be*ne/Te However, I could not understand it. I think it is not just matter of mol/L and mol/kg. The reason is I tried to simulate and could get the matching output with significantly different Log K values.
