The effects of ionic strength on un-ionized ammonia concentration

January 1, 1991

Ionic strength affects the ionization of ammonia and the resulting un‐ionized ammonia (NH₃) concentration. The error introduced by failure to account for this effect can be substantial in marine or brackish water. We present a simple method for correcting the calculation of the NH₃ fraction in an ammonia solution for ionic strength.
