a) What is
H2CO3* ? Note we dropped the use of the * in
doing water chemistry problems and use an artificially small Ka1
value (which might seem confusing unless you had a water chemistry
course). And what aqueous species dominates in this definition?
b) Derive the relationship between
total carbonate concentration and partial pressure of
CO2(g) in equilibrium with the water in an open system
which is given as,
CT,CO3 = KH
PCO2/ao
c) You have obtained a ground...
