His technique was substanti- ally the same as mine, with the exception that his original sample- of sea water, after the NaOH had been added, were shaken for 24 hours instead of being filtered at once, so that equilibrium was insured. Since CaCO;! tends to remain supersaturated, it was suspected of being the cause of the discrepancy. A control experiment was therefore set up, in which the NaOH was added very slowly as a normal (instead of 10 normal) solution, in order to avoid local high concentrations of hydroxide, and the stoppered mixtures were allowed to stand with occasional shaking for one week. At the end of this time they were filtered and analyzed. $-. •p 05 -P TH p< •H O I «J O .005 - determined immediately at equilibrium C0a-saturated. 100 .200 Mols NaOH added per liter FIG. 2.
