Dear all, I suspect that this subject may have been broached indirectly,
but is there a standard for DIC? I have got reproducable numbers on local
Ithaca water, and the yields look sensible as do the numbers themselves,
but I have no check on accuracy. Is the usual option to use sodium
(bi?)carbonate and run it as a solid, then calculate what it should be when
its dissolved?
thanks,
Linda
