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.
Base units in the Metric System can be converted into units that are more appropriate for the quantity being measured by adding a prefix to the name of the base unit. The common metric prefixes are given below. Metric System Prefixes.
