Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 118SCQ
The composition diagram, or alpha plot, for the important acid-base system of carbonic acid, H2CO3, is illustrated. (See Study Question 1.7 for more information on such diagrams.)
- (a) Explain why the fraction of bicarbonate ion, HCO3−, rises and then falls as the pH increases.
- (b) What is the composition of the solution when the pH is 6.0? When the pH is 10.0?
- (c) If you wanted to buffer a solution at a pH of 11.0, what should be the ratio of HCO3− to CO32−?
