1 Carbon Dioxide, Alkalinity and ph OCN 623 Chemical Oceanography 15 March 2018 Reading: Libes, Chapter 15, pp (Remainder of chapter will be used with the classes Global Carbon Dioxide and Biogenic production, carbonate saturation and sediment distributions )
2 Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs) At the completion of today s section, students should be able to: 1. Identify the chemical species involved in the marine CO 2 /carbonate system 2. Explain CO 2 dissolution in seawater and subsequent reactions 3. Explain the concepts of ph, alkalinity, and dissolved inorganic carbon, and write the equations defining these quantities 4. Explain the relationship between carbonate dissolution/precipitation and pco 2.
3 Why is it important to understand the CO 2 system? CO 2 controls the fraction of inbound radiation that remains trapped in the atmosphere (greenhouse effect), which in turn strongly influences planetary climate CO 2 is the raw material used to build organic matter CO 2 controls the ph of the oceans Distribution of CO 2 species affects preservation of CaCO 3 deposited on the sea floor

5 CO 2 Speciation xco 2 pco 2 fco 2 Perturbations to one species leads to a redistribution of all the other species There are many forms of dissolved inorganic carbon in water k fco 2 K0 [CO 2 ]* { [CO 2 ] + H 2 O 1% 88% [H 2 CO 3 ] [HCO 3 - ] + H + K2 { K1 11% [CO 2-3 ] + H + Using the thermodynamic constants (Kx), any two measured parameters can be used to calculate the concentration of all the species Individual dissolved species can not be measured directly
6 CO 2 Speciation xco 2 pco 2 fco 2 k fco 2 K0 There are four measurable carbon parameters in water [CO 2 ]* { [CO 2 ] + H 2 O 1% [H 2 CO 3 ] { K1 88% 11% [HCO 3 - ] + H + K2 [CO 3 2- ] + H + Measurable parameter: CO 2 fugacity
7 Takahashi climatological annual mean air-sea CO 2 flux for reference year 2000 Based on ~3 million measurements since 1970 and NCEP/DOE/AMIP II reanalysis. Global flux is 1.4 ±0.7 Pg C/yr Takahashi et al., Deep Sea Res. II, 2009
8 The global mean air-sea CO 2 flux for the period from 1982 to 2009 gives an average contemporary net uptake of 1.47±.23 Pg C yr -1 Surface observations have large variability over a wide range of time and space scales making it very difficult to properly isolate the anthropogenic increases. Uptake of 2 Pg C yr -1 only requires a DpCO 2 of 8ppm.
9 GENERAL DEFINITION: The acid-buffering capacity of seawater Total Alkalinity (TA) represents ability of seawater to resist ph change upon addition of acid Remember the concept of a buffer (from basic chemistry): a substance that resists ph change upon addition of acid or base xco 2 pco 2 fco 2 k fco 2 K0 CO 2 Speciation There are four measurable carbon parameters in water [CO 2 ]* { [CO 2 ] + H 2 O 1% 88% 11% [H 2 CO 3 ] { K1 [HCO 3- ] + H + K2 [CO 3 2- ] + H + Measurable parameter: Total Alkalinity Carbonate Alkalinity CA 2[CO 3-2 ] + [HCO 3 - ] Typically, HCO 3 - and CO 3-2 are present at ~1000x conc of other proton acceptors Hence: CA nearly equals TA TA = [HCO 3- ] + 2*[CO 3 2- ] + [B(OH) 4- ] + [HPO 4 2- ] + 2*[PO 4 3- ] + [OH - ] - [H + ]
10 Surface TA/Talk/Alk/A T Distribution is Very Similar to Salinity
11 Shallow Indian Ocean Data (depth < 100 m)
12 Inorganic Carbon is stored in the ocean as Total CO 2 (a.k.a. DIC) DIC and TA are state variables, meaning they are not a function of temperature or pressure xco 2 pco 2 fco 2 k fco 2 K0 CO 2 Speciation There are four measurable carbon parameters in water [CO 2 ]* { [CO 2] + H 2 O 1% 88% 11% [H 2 CO 3 ] { K1 [HCO 3- ] + H + K2 [CO 3 2- ] + H + Measurable parameter: Total CO 2 TCO 2 = [CO 2 ]* + [H 2 CO 3 ] + [HCO 3- ] + [CO 3 2- ]
13 TCO 2 /DIC/C T : Surface Distribution is Similar to Nutrient Distributions
14 Shallow Indian Ocean Data (depth < 100 m)
15 CO 2 Speciation xco 2 pco 2 There are four measurable carbon parameters in water {H + } = Hydrogen ion activity There are 5 different ph scales. The most common are ph sws and ph T ph of seawater is slightly basic; acidification is a process, not a state fco 2 k fco 2 K0 [CO 2 ]* { [CO 2 ] + H 2 O 1% 88% 11% [H 2 CO 3 ] { K1 [HCO 3 - ] + H + K2 [CO 3 2- ] + H + {H + } sws = {H + } f + [HSO 4 - ] + [HF] {H + } T = {H + } f + [HSO 4 - ] Measurable parameter: ph ph = -log 10 {H + }
16 Surface ph distribution reflects combined patterns of alkalinity and TCO 2 ph Light gray = warm water corals Dark gray = cold water corals Feely, Doney and Cooley, Oceanography (2009)
17 Group Task How does seawater ph change when atmospheric CO 2 is added to the ocean? What are the reactions??
18 Group Task How does seawater ph change when atmospheric CO 2 is added to the ocean? What are the reactions?? Answer: The ph decreases because of the release of hydrogen ions: CO 2(g) CO 2(aq) CO 2(aq) + H 2 O HCO 3- + H + HCO 3- CO H + The limited amount of CO 3 2- available means that not all of the H + produced by the middle reaction can be consumed
19 Take home message: Each of the 4 measurable carbon parameters can tell us something different about the basic processes operating in the Ocean Gas Exchange pco 2 ph TCO 2 Ocean Physics TAlk Biology
20 Question: How will ocean carbon system respond to changes in ocean processes? Gas Exchange Rising CO 2 Levels Changing Climate pco 2 ph Changing Biology? TCO 2 Ocean Physics TAlk Biology
21 Equations for CO 2 Speciation The equilibrium of gaseous and aqueous CO 2 : CO 2(g) CO 2(aq) Subsequent hydration and dissociation reactions: CO 2(aq) + H 2 O H 2 CO 3 HCO 3- + H + K 1 * = { H + }[ HCO [ CO ] 2 3 ] HCO 3- CO H + K + 2 { H }[ CO3 2* = [ HCO3 ] ] Hint: When you add a CO 2 species to the system, follow the H +. Thus, the following is a reasonable approximation when ph is between 7.5 and 8.5: Asterisk (*) indicates a stoichiometric constant CO 2(aq) + CO H 2 O 2HCO 3 -
22 Distribution of CO 2 Species at CO 2(aq) Different ph Values CO 2(g) CO 2(aq) CO 2(aq) + H 2 O HCO 3- + H + HCO 3- CO H + Seawater values shown ---freshwater curves are shifted left aob.oxfordjournals.org
23 Effects of Pressure on Carbonate Speciation 1 atm 1000 atm K 1 * K 2 * CO 2(g) CO 2(aq) CO 2(aq) + H 2 O HCO 3- + H + HCO 3- CO H + As you raise a sample from depth: - Ks decrease - Reactions shift to left - ph increases K K 1 { H * = + }[ HCO [ CO ] + 2 { H }[ CO3 2* = [ HCO3 ] 2 3 ] ]
24 Group Task Why is raising a sample of seawater from depth to the surface like opening a can of soda??? What exactly is happening? How does the ph change? Hint: What happens to the dissolved CO 2?
25 Group Task Why is raising a sample of seawater from depth to the surface like opening a can of soda??? Answer: In both cases there is: 1) An aqueous solution containing a large amount of dissolved CO 2 2) Pressure is released, causing the CO 2 /carbonate reactions to shift to the left (due to decreased Ks) 3) CO 2 gas is released and ph increases HCO 3- CO H + CO 2(aq) + H 2 O HCO 3- + H + CO 2(g) CO 2(aq)
26 CaCO 3 Precipitation/Dissolution A tricky subject when discussing CO 2 (or, more properly, pco 2 ) Ca 2+ + CO 3 2- CaCO 3 (consumption of CO 3 2- ) Does this reduce the CO 2 (pco 2 ) level of the seawater? No! Lost CO 3 2- will be replaced: HCO 3- CO H + But this H + release causes: HCO 3- + H + CO 2 + H 2 O CO 2(g) CO 2(aq) CO 2(aq) + H 2 O HCO 3- + H + HCO 3- CO H + Hint: when ph is between 7.5 and 8.5: CO 2(a q) + CO H 2 O 2HCO - 3 Thus, CaCO 3 precipitation causes a decrease in DIC and TA, but an increase in pco 2
27 Chemical Reactions of Carbonate Species in Seawater [Ca 2+ ] is one of the 6 major ions in seawater CO 2 Atmosphere To a first order it is considered conservative with salinity (~10.3 mmol/kg at salinity of 35) Therefore, [CO 3 2- ] primarily controls the saturation state of the waters with respect to aragonite, calcite, magnesian calcite CO 2 aq (CO 2 + H 2 O) K 1 K 2 HCO 3 + H + CO H + CaCO 3 Ca 2+ calcification K sp = solubility product of a solid K sp = apparent solubility product Solubility of CaCO 3 increases with decreasing temperature and increasing pressure. Increasing Solubility from left to right: dolomite < calcite < aragonite < high-magnesian calcite Ω a = [Ca 2+ ][CO 3 2- ] Ksp Ω a > 1 ~ Supersaturated CaCO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O dissolution Ca HCO 3 -
