Problem 84AE
Rainwater is acidic because C02(g) dissolves in the water, creating carbonic acid, H2C03. If the rainwater is too acidic, it will react with limestone and seashells (which are principally made of calcium carbonate, CaC03). Calculate the concentrations of carbonic acid, bicarbonate ion (HC03-)and carbonate ion (C032-) that are in a raindrop that has a pH of 5.60, assuming that the surn of all three species in the raindrop is 1.0 x 10-5 M.
