Question

Map deb pling Carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid. Estimate the Substance AGro (kJ/mo) thermodynamic equilibrium Constant for this reaction using the AG values H2CO3(aq) -616.1 shown here -237.1 H20 Number CO2(g) -394.4 K- 002 Carbonic acid then ionizes in water (Kat 4.5x10 7). Ignoring Ka2, estimate Kfor the overall process by which CO2 and H2O form H* and HCO3 Number A 9.1 x 10 10 What is the pressure of CO2 in equilibrium with carbonated water at 25 C and pHE 4.72? Use the overall reaction to write the overall Kexpression. Number H (aq) HCOI (aq) 5.7 atm CO, Use the pH to find [H*] and [HCO3 1 (H HCO, 10 Plug in values and solve 9 x 10 for the pressure of CO2. pH HCO, 10 CO, no Previous Give Up & View Solution Try Again Next HExit

Explanation / Answer

pH = 4.72
use:
pH = -log [H+]
4.72 = -log [H+]
[H+] = 1.905*10^-5 M

H2CO3 <---> H+   + HCO3-
                             x           x
but
[H+] = 1.905*10^-5 M = x
so,
[HCO3-] =x = 1.905*10^-5 M

K = [H+] [HCO3-] /pCO2
9.1*10^-10 = (1.905*10^-5 M)*(1.905*10^-5 M) /pCO2
pCO2 = 0.40 atm
Answer: 0.40 atm
