Equations and transformations of the dissolution equilibrium of carbon dioxide and dissociation equilibrium of carbonic acid components and water (re-review)
Re-write Equations (1) through (8) so far.
Equations (6)-(8) are the equations for 【each carbonic acid component】 = (K1, K2, 【H+】 equations) x 【DIC】.
Since Equations (7)-(8) are just above-contained b, let us substitute b from Equation (6).
Let the rearranged equations be the new Equations (6)-(8).
An organized example is noted below.
【HCO3-】 = K1・【H+】・【DIC】/ (【H+】2 + K1【H+】 + K1K2) Equations (6)
【CO32-】 = K1・K2・【DIC】/ (【H+】2 + K1【H+】 + K1K2) Equations (7)
【H2CO3】 = 【H+】2・【DIC】/ (【H+】2 + K1【H+】 + K1K2) Equations (8)
In the developmental questions, we will use Equations (6)-(8) and the definitions of DIC and alkalinity to formulate the relationship between pH, DIC, pCO2, and alkalinity. Therefore, it is most important to be able to derive equations (6)-(8).Last modified: Tuesday, 8 August 2023, 7:41 PM
