Question

State the defined T-Alkalinily pH as you learned from Exercise #5 (Determination of Different Forms of Alkalinity using titration with 0.020X H_2SO_4) The vast majority of the healthy bodies of natural water arc in the "bicarbonate" range of Alkalinity. Based on the theoretical pH of natural rain water (state it here) AND what you learned about "bicarbonate" alkalinity from conducting Exercise #5 {Determination of Different Forms of Alkalinity using titration with 0.020X H_2SO_4): What would you expect to be the minimum and the maximum initial pH of the water sample from a healthy surface lake? Clearly explain how did you reach your conclusion?

Explanation / Answer

Question 4

T-alkalinity refers to the total alkalinity of a body of water. It refers to the ability of the water body to regulate it's pH, by neutralizing any acidic substances added to it, using carbonates, bicarbonates and hydroxides. These alkaline substances increase the pH of the water body.
