5 Justify your answer. Carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air dissolves in distilled water. The CO2 then reacts with water molecules to produce carbonic acid (H2CO3) as shown in the equation below. Would you expect the pH of distilled water to be 7, greater than 7, or less than 7? CO2 (g) + H2O (l) H2CO3 (aq)

MATHEMATICAL A catalog in the lab has a recipe for preparing 1 L of a TRIS buffer at 0.0500 M and with pH 8.0: dissolve 2.02 g of TRIS (free base, MW=121.1 g/mol) and 5.25 g of TRIS hydrochloride (the acidic form, MW=157.6 g/mol) in a total volume of 1 L. Verify that this recipe is correct.
Manufacturers make carbonated drinks by forcing pressurized carbon dioxide gas into flavored water. A chemical reaction between water molecules and some of the CO2 molecules creates hydrogen ions (H+) and bicarbonate, which is a buffer. In your opinion, is this reaction likely to raise the pH of a soda above 7, or lower it? Give your reasoning.
