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.
2. a device for measuring distance, volume, etc, such as a graduated scale or container. 3. a system of measurement: give the size in metric measure. 4. a standard used in a system of measurements: the international prototype kilogram is the measure of mass in SI units. 5. a specific or standard amount of something: a measure of grain; short measure; full measure. 6. a basis or standard for comparison: his work was the measure of all subsequent attempts. 7. reasonable or permissible limit or bounds: we must keep it within measure.
