APPENDIX C: 

 RATE OF CARBON MONOXIDE PRODUCTION 



Protocol Statement for Calculations 



(Example from Experiment 6, table 1) 



Original volume of pneumatophore gases 

 calculated from dimensional measure- 

 ments (all volume measurements and 

 analyses performed at about 20°C): 



Bubble extruded at start: 



Analysis of bubble gases: 

 CO 15.6%, 0. 008 mm 3 



(O 2.3%, 0.001 mm 3 ; N a 82.1%, 

 0. 044 mm 3 )* 



Original volume of carbon monoxide: 

 0. 01 + 0. 156 x (0. 29 - 0. 05) = 



After 3.87 hours, CO dissolved in syringe 

 water (volume 1 cc) corrected for reagent 

 blanks: 5 



0.29 mm c 

 0. 05 mm 2 



s 0„ 01 mm 2 



0. 05 mm 3 

 0.23 mm s 



Total gas phase extruded from pneu- 

 matophore at end of experiment: 0. 36 mm" 



Analysis of gases: 



00 35.0%, 0.126 mm 3 «0. 13 mm 2 



(0 2 1.8%, 0.007 mm 3 ; N 2 6 3.2%, 

 0. 227 mm 3 )* 



Total volume of additional CO produced: 



0. 23 + 0. 13 - 0. 05 0. 31 mm 5 



Nitrogen was obtained by difference.
