Key Equations

$$\text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_3^{2-} \rightarrow 2\text{HCO}_3^-$$
$$R = \frac{\Delta p\text{CO}_2 / p\text{CO}_2}{\Delta \text{DIC} / \text{DIC}}$$
$$\beta = \frac{1}{R} = \frac{\Delta \text{DIC}/\text{DIC}}{\Delta p\text{CO}_2/p\text{CO}_2}$$
$$\Omega = \frac{[\text{Ca}^{2+}][\text{CO}_3^{2-}]}{K_{sp}}$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
