16.61 The interaction of water droplets in rain with carbon dioxide that is naturally present in the atmosphere causes rain water to be slightly acidic because CO 2 is an acid anhydride. As a result, pure clean rain has a pH of about 5.7. What are the hydrogen ion and hydroxide ion concentrations in this rain water?

The scale used for measuring the acidity or basicity of a solution is known as the pH scale. Typically you will see values ranging from 0 to 14, however it is possible to produce highly acidic solutions with a lower pH or a highly basic solution with a higher pH. A neutral solution has an equivalent concentration of hydronium and hydroxide ions, which has a pH of 7 at 25 °C. A pH less than 7 indicates that a solution is an acid, and a pH greater than / Indicates that a solution is a base. Click on the image below to explore this simulation, which demonstrates the pH scale. The pH of the solution is related to the H₂O¹ ion concentration by the equation pH = -log H₂O¹] When you click the simulation link, you may be asked whether to run, open, or save the file. Choose to run or open it Part D A PHET= In this simulation, allowing you to produce solutions at at 25°C, you should see three modes: Macro, Micro, and Custom. In Macro and Micro, you are provided with a calibrated beaker along…

16. Calcium hydroxide can be used to neutralize the water in lakes that have been "killed" by acid rain. Ecologists hope that the original plants and animals will become re-established. . If the concentration of sulfuric acid in an acid lake is 1.2 x 10³ mol/L, and 1000 kg of calcium hydroxide is added to the lake, what is the volume of water in the lake that can be neutralized? What is the original pH of the lake? What might be disadvantage(s) of using this method to neutralize the lake.

An important component of blood is the buffer combination of bicarbonate ion and carbonic acid. Consider blood with a pH of 7.42. (a) What is the ratio of [H2CO3] to [HCO3− ]?(b) What does the pH become if 14% of the bicarbonate ions are converted to carbonic acid? (c) What does the pH become if 26% of the carbonic acid molecules are converted to bicarbonate ions?
