in seawater in terms of the conditional stability constants of metal complexes and the corresponding ligand concentration. Based on the conditional stability constants of organic Cu(II) complexes,
In the original version of the metric system the base units could be derived from a specified length (the metre) and the weight [mass] of a specified volume ( 1â7003100000000000000â 1000 of a cubic metre) of pure water.
Metric System: The metric system is an internationally agreed decimal system of measurement created in France in 1799. The International System of Units (SI), the official system of measurement in almost every country in the world, is based upon the metric system. In the metric system, each basic type of measurement (length, weight, capacity) has one basic unit of measure (meter, gram, liter). Conversions are quickly made by multiplying or dividing by factors of 10. It is as simple as moving the decimal point to the right (for smaller prefixes) or to the left (for larger prefixes).
