Abstract
A model is presented which signifies the role of oxygen (as oxides and hydroxides) in controlling the composition of seawater. Using the regression equations log KSW=−0.77+0.03ΔO2-M and [M]SW=KSW[M]crust log t̅=4.73+0.04ΔO2-M respective concentration and residence times for the unknown elements can be estimated. Geometric and statistical indices of Legget and Williams (1981) are used to evaluate the accuracy of the model. This reveals from the known values of ΔO2-M that the present model estimates log t̅y values within a factor of 1.77. The predicted oceanic residence times for Am, Ir, Ra and Rh are 3.6 x 102, 3.7 x 102, 2.2 x 105 and 6.4 x 102 years, respectively.
