The atmospheric concentration of CO2 is currently 398 ppm. Assuming CO2 is the only substance to affect rainwater pH, calculate the pH of a raindrop in equilibrium with this concentration of CO2. (Ks[CO2 dissolution] = 5.0 E -2) (Ka1[carbonic acid equilibrium] = 5.0 E -7)

If the level of atmospheric CO2 were to double from its current concentration of 407 ppm, what would be the calculated pH of rainwater, assuming that H2CO3(carbonic acid) is the only source of acidity?
A sample of rainwater is observed to have a pH of 7.26. If only atmospheric CO2 at 400 ppm and limestone dust are present in the atmosphere to alter the pH from a neutral value, and if each raindrop has a volume of 0.0301 cm3, what mass of calcium (in ng) is present in each raindrop?
b) The current (Year 2017) atmospheric CO2 concentration is 370 ppm. It is estimated that if we continue to exploit the world’s fossil fuel reserves at the same rate, the atmospheric CO2 concentration will reach 1,100 ppm in Year 2400 (Williams, 2001). Justify your answer in (1) quantitatively by calculating the pHs when CO2 concentrations are 370 ppm (Year 2017) and 1,100 ppm (Year 2400), respectively. Assuming: I. Pure water is in equilibrium with CO2 at 25oC. II. Water vapor...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an abundant greenhouse gas that is present in high atmospheric concentration primarily due to an anthropogenic contribution. A primary mode for the natural removal of atmospheric CO is dissolution into the oceans. The following chemical reaction shows the dissolution of CO2 into water forming carbonic acid (H2CO3): CO, aq) H, O H,Co, aq Carbonic acid will then dissociate in water forming the bicarbonate anion (HCO3 Draw the Lewis dot structures for carbonic acid and the bicarbonate...
Estimate the pH of natural rainwater, assuming the only substance effecting it is the adsorption of CO2 from the atmosphere. Assume the concentration of CO2 is 390 ppm, and the temperature and pressure are 25 "C and 1 atmosphere. Steps. Assume the absorption of CO2 adds only the carbonate system ions so the ionic present must balance, and are due to Ht, OH, HCO3, and CO32. Establish your charges charge balance equation-+'s = -'s i. Assuming the rainfall is slightly...
Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, which
is primarily dissolved CO2. Dissolved CO2 satisfies the equilibrium
equation The acid dissociation constants listed in most standard
reference texts for carbonic acid actually apply to dissolved CO2.
For a CO2 partial pressure of 1.8×10–4 bar in the atmosphere, what
is the pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere? (For
carbonic acid Ka1 = 4.46× 10–7 and Ka2 = 4.69× 10–11).
Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic...
Use this value (401.7 ppm CO2) to calculate the molar concentration (i.e., in units of moles/L or M) of dissolved CO2 in rainwater in equilibrium with the atmosphere at 25 oC. The Henry’s Law constant for CO2 at 25 oC is 10-1.5 mol L-1 atm-1.
How would increases in atmospheric CO2 concentration affect C3 vs. C4 plants (assuming no other changes in climate)?
