Hi Glenn,

I noticed that under Concentration, the term G is "concentration based on equilibrium with a gas (partial pressure) [bars]"

However, in one of the examples in the following link,  I came across this line: "HCO3- -3.5 G CO2(g)"

https://documentation.pflotran.org/user_guide/how_to/benchmark.html

If it refers to partial pressure, I’m confused as to how it can have a negative value?

Best regards,
Fatemeh

Negatives values for gas partial pressure under constraints is a hidden capability. When the value is less than or equal to zero, the number is interpreted base 10 log form of the number:
