Milliequivalents of acid delivered per millimole of a substance at pH.
protonsAlreadyRemoved is how many protons the substance arrives without:
0 for a free acid, 1 for bicarbonate (NaHCO₃), 2 for carbonate (CaCO₃). The
result is negative for a base, so the charge balance can treat a base as acid
with the sign flipped, with no separate code path.
