The pressure of co2 is 3.0 atm. what is the
concentration of carbonic acid in club soda?
Co2(aq)+H2O(l)<=> H2CO3(aq)
It needs to use Henry's Law.
What is the PH of club soda? assume that the carbonic acid
dissociates to whatever extent it should.
Henry's law
concentration = constant x pressure
So,
concentration of carbonic acid = 3.1 x 10^-2 x 3
= 9.3 x 10^-2 M
H2CO3 + H2O <==> HCO3- + H3O+
Ka1 = 4.5 x 10^-7 = x^2/0.093
x = [H3O+] = 2.046 x 10^-4 M
pH = -log[H3O+] = 3.69
