Total sulfate, chlorinity, and total alkalinity in seawater solutions have been determined by thermometric titration. The precision of the analyses was 0.3% for sulfate, 0.04% for chlorinity, and 0.1% for total alkalinity. Because of their simplicity, speed, and high precision, thermometric titrations are ideally suited for a wide range of applications in the marine environment (e.g. pore water analysis).
