mole_concentration_of_bicarbonate_expressed_as_carbon_in_sea_water mol m-3 [MLM3] Mole concentration of the bicarbonate ion, HCO3-, expressed as carbon, one of the species of dissolved inorganic carbon. "Mole concentration" means number of moles per unit volume, also called "molarity", and is used in the construction "mole_concentration_of_X_in_Y", where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species or biological group denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen".

A chemical species or biological group denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". The chemical formula of the bicarbonate anion is HCO3 with an electrical charge of minus one. The phrase "expressed_as" is used in the construction "A_expressed_as_B", where B is a chemical constituent of A. It means that the quantity indicated by the standard name is calculated solely with respect to the B contained in A, neglecting all other chemical constituents of A.
