Master species for carbon in example 15

[Rui He]

Hi!

In the database for example 15, the master species for carbon is defined as CO2, with the alkalinity of 2, the molecular weight of 61.0173 and element weight of 12.0111. Is the intent to set up the master species as CO3-2 or HCO3-1, or there's a specific reason to set it up as CO2?
Thank you!




Best regards,
Rui He

The master species definition is not correct, nothing matches--the name, alkalinity, and GFW are all inconsistent. However, ex15 SOLUTIONs are defined with carbon in micromoles per liter, so the alkalinity and GFW definitions in SOLUTION_MASTER_SPECIES are not used.
