2. Using the following set of reactions, generate a log Al vs. pH diagram depicting the solubility of gibbsite, Al(OH)3(am). Al(OH)3(am) + 3H+ → A1³+ Al3+ + H₂O A13+ + 2H2O A13+ + 3H2O A13+ + 4H2O ← → AIOH 2+ + 3H2O + H ← → Al(OH)2+ + 2H+ ← → Al(OH)3(aq) ← → Al(OH)4 +3H+ + 4H+ log Ksp.Al(OH)3 = 10.38 log K1,OH -4.99 log K2,OH -10.1 log K3,OH -16.0 log K4,OH -23.0 Assume this mineral controls the solubility of Al in a coagulation-flocculation drinking water plant. If the system is dosed with alum, aluminum sulfate(s), at a concentration equivalent to 2.7 mg Al/L and operated at pH 7.0, what is the minimum solubility of Al in equilibrium with gibbsite? Report your answer as (mg Al/L). State any assumptions.
