A 3.00-L sample of urban air was bubbled through a solution containing 50.00 mL of 0.0116 M Ba(OH)2, which caused the CO2 in the sample to precipitate as BaCO3. The excess base was back titrated to a phenolphthalein end point with 23.6 mL of 0.0108 M HCI. What is the concentration of CO2 in the air in ppm (mL CO2/L air)? Use 1.98g/L for the density of CO2.
