Question: ( a ) Write all reactions and equations for an open carbonate system. ( b ) Derive the equations for l o g [ H

(a) Write all reactions and equations for an open carbonate system.
(b) Derive the equations for log[H2CO3**],log[HCO3-], and log[CO32-] written with pH,pKal,pKa2,KH,
and/or pCO2.
(c) Assume that we fail to control CO2 emission (which is unfortunate but very likely) and as a result,
pCO2 in the atmosphere increases to 0.31atm. Draw a logC-pH diagram and find the resulting rainwater
pH.
