106CO2 + 50 SIO4 + 16HNO3 + H3PO4 + 0.001Fe + 122H20 → (CH,0) 106(SiO4)so(NH3)16(H3PO.)F2.001 + 13802 a. Calculate the change in (total) CO, in the ocean surface mixed (Temp = 25C, Salinity = 35 ppt) layer if 1 nM of iron is added (and consumed), assuming it is indeed the limiting nutrient. b. Would this change in total CO, affect the alkalinity of the surface ocean? Whylwhy not? C. How much would the pH of the surface change following this primary production (assuming no respiration/gas exchange)? Use pCO2 = 420 ppm and total alkalinity = 2.2 mM to start your calculations.
