1.8 CF Standard Names: Mole Concentration of Calcite Expressed As Carbon in Sea Water (mole_concentration_of_calcite_expressed_as_carbon_in_sea_water)

Record Label : mole_concentration_of_calcite_expressed_as_carbon_in_sea_water

Record Title : Mole Concentration of Calcite Expressed As Carbon in Sea Water

CF Standard Name : mole_concentration_of_calcite_expressed_as_carbon_in_sea_water

Record Description : Mole concentration means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y, where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical or biological species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as 'nitrogen' or a phrase such as 'nox_expressed_as_nitrogen'.The phrase 'expressed_as' is used in the construction A_expressed_as_B, where B is a chemical constituent of A. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A. Calcite is a mineral that is a polymorph of calcium carbonate. The chemical formula of calcite is CaCO3. Standard names also exist for aragonite, another polymorph of calcium carbonate.
