4. Nominally pure water in the laboratory generally contains dissolved CO2, in its hydrated form: H2CO3(aq), which ionizes in accord with: K₁ = 4.47 x 10-7 M and 1) H2CO3 HCO3 + H+ K2 4.68 x 10-11 M 2) HCO3 CO₂²- + H+ The pH is measured to be 5.5. The contribution of the ionization of water itself to the H+ ion concentration may be neglected. Evaluate the equilibrium molarities of the species H*, H2CO3, HCO3 and CO2²-.

4. Nominally pure water in the laboratory generally contains dissolved CO2, in its
hydrated form: H2CO3(aq), which ionizes in accord with:
K₁ = 4.47 x 10-7 M and
1) H2CO3 HCO3 + H+
K2 4.68 x 10-11 M
2) HCO3 CO₂²- + H+
The pH is measured to be 5.5. The contribution of the ionization of water itself
to the H+ ion concentration may be neglected. Evaluate the equilibrium
molarities of the species H*, H2CO3, HCO3 and CO2²-.
