The reaction rate between atmospheric hydrogen chloride (HCl) and chlorine nitrate (ClONO2) is greatly enhanced in the presence of ice particles; HCl dissolves readily into ice, and the collisional reaction probability for ClONO2 on the surface of ice with HCl in the mole fraction range from ∼ 0.003 to 0.010 is in the range from ∼ 0.05 to 0.1 for temperatures near 200 K. Chlorine (Cl2) is released into the gas phase on a time scale of at most a few milliseconds, whereas nitric acid (HNO3), the other product, remains in the condensed phase.
If the atmospheric concentration increases 10 %, the partial pressure will increase correspondingly, and the concentration of dissolved gas will also increase 10 %.
«The atmospheric gas carbon dioxide (CO2) dissolves very easily in water.
David, isn't the gist of what Salby is saying is that the atmospheric increases in CO2 are due to the gas coming out of the oceans, and here we are discussing the observation that the pH of the oceans are decreasing because CO2 is dissolving in them?
Dissolved GHG flux (Fd) was calculated as: where Csur is the gas concentration in surface water, Ceq is the gas concentration when in equilibrium with the atmosphere at ambient temperature (global atmospheric concentrations were used), and k is the gas exchange velocity calculated as: where Sc is the Schmidt number calculated from empirical third - order polynomial fit to water temperature and corrected at 20 °C.
Given Henry's gas law (50:1 ratio of ocean / air CO2 concentrations), when atmospheric CO2 levels were 2,000 ppm, there were roughly 192,500 gigatons of CO2 dissolved in the oceans or 154,000 GTs more than now and the oceans were still alkaline (around 7.6 pH) and teaming with life.
The team previously published their gas measurements in May 2016, reporting that carbon dioxide levels at both sites were below atmospheric saturation during the study period, whereas dissolved oxygen was slightly supersaturated.
