(choose chapter or problem)

The pH of a particular raindrop is 5.6.(a)Assuming the major species in the raindrop are H2CO3(aq), , and ,calculate the concentrations of these species in the raindrop, assuming the total carbonate concentration is . The appropriate Ka values are given in Table 16.3. (b) What experiments could you do to test the hypothesis that the rain also contains sulfur-containing species that contribute to its pH? Assume you have a large sample of rain to test.
