Recall from Sec. 8.2 that determining the chemistry of water exposed to atmospheric CO2 can be determined by solving five nonlinear equations (Eqs. 8.6 through 8.10) for five unknowns: cT, [HCO-3], [CO32-], [H+], and [OH-]. Employing the parameters from Sec. 8.2 and the program developed in Prob. 9.20, solve this system for conditions in 1958 when the partial pressure of CO2 was 315 ppm. Use your results to compute the pH. |
