Re: DO input concentration




It's a little confusing, but PHREEQC wants to know the number of moles of
oxygen in the zero valence state. To get that, you need to take the total
number of milligrams of oxygen and divide by 16.  It really does not matter
whether the total milligrams is specified to be O or O2; the number of
milligrams of O is equal to the number of milligrams of O2.

If you use "as O2", you will divide by 32, but this gives the number of
moles of O2, whereas PHREEQC wants the number of moles of just plain O.

David,


I'm a bit confused about the input concentration for DO in mg/l.
If I have 4mgO2/L, should I than enter 4mg/L for O(0)?
I tried to find out, and this gave me the correct result of 1.25e-5molO2/L
and 2.5e-5molO(0)/L
is this correct?


This is maybe a stupid question, but I got confused why not entering conc
"as O2", but then I get 6.284e-005molO2/l as a result, which is 2mgO2/l.


best regards,
bruno
