In the x–y plane, the curve of T1′—T2′—T3′—T4′—T5′ depicts the influence of temperature upon the intensity of a biological process according to van het Hoff’s rule. In this curve, the intensity continually increases as temperature increases. The curves of t1—01—t1′, t2—02—t2′, and t3—03—t3′ show the influence of temperature at the observation times t1, t2, and t3. These have become “optimum curves,” where the optima lie at 01, 02, and 03. The optimum is therefore dependent upon the duration of observation.
2). Among the more alkaline solutions, the sodium lakes are worth mentioning, where the alkalinity is caused by dissolved soda or trona (Na2CO3, NaHCO3). 3 displays the range wherein various substances occur in solution, depending on the pH level. 5. Calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide and magnesium carbonate precipitate at much higher pH levels. However, it must be remembered that traces of these salts, even with low acidity levels [high pH], are still present in solution. 10 Baas Becking is referring here to water activity, which decreases as salinity increases.
It is generally known that deep water has a blue color. This means that blue light passes through water quite easily. The adjacent ultraviolet also easily passes through fresh water, whereas seawater absorbs this light quite strongly. This strong absorptive quality most likely has to do with the high level of magnesium (Hulburt, 65). Water also strongly absorbs infrared light. 2 June 1933, Nieuwediep Harbor. Transmission capacity of water for total radiation. 3 From Poole and Atkins. The specific absorptive qualities of water cause several curious phenom ena.
