LECTURES 5-8 + TBL 2 Flashcards
In aqueous systems, CO2 exists as a combination of _____, _____, _____
CO2, HCO3, H2CO3, CO3
The sum of all species that form when CO2 reacts with water (CO2 + HCO3 + CO3)
dissolved inorganic C (DIC) / total CO2
our atmospheric CO2 has risen from ____ppm to _____pm from the pre-industrial times up until now
278, 420
about _____% of known CO2 emissions are no longer in the atmosphere, and rather in the ocean
40
the liquid that dissolves the solute
solvent
the solid dissolved in the liquid
solute
the quantity of solute relative to that of solvent/solution
concentration
produce H+ ions (or H3O) and have a pH < 7
acids
produce OH- ions and have a pH >7
bases
a stress placed on a system in equilibrium will shift the equilibrium to relieve the stress
Le Chatelier’s Principle
takes into account the ionic strengths and ion size and charge; are more accurate than concentrations in equilibrium, but are approximately equal at low ionic strengths (freshwater)
activity coefficient
[H+][OH-] = 10^-14
water dissociation constant
the henderson hasselbach equation explains that when adding ____, it comes with the weak base to form the acid, which shifts the ratio but only has a small effect on ____
H+, pH
buffers work best when the pH is near the _____ of the acid, where _____ = _______
pka, [HA], [A]
total hydroxide ion concentration; manifested by a high pH
basicity
the capacity of water to accept H+; determined by titration with H+ to neutral endpoint; includes the concentration of all conjugate bases of weak acids
alkalinity
when the pH of water equals the pka1 or _____, the concentration of _____ and _____ are equal to each other
6.35, CO2, HCO3
when the pH of water equal the pka2 or ______, the concentration of _____ and _____ are equal to each other
10, HCO3, CO3
at maximum HCO3 concentration, there is very little _____ and_____
CO2, CO3
at pH ____, it is almost all CO2, at pH ____, it is almost all CO3
<4, >12
the pH of freshwater is around __, which is buffered by CO2 and HCO3, with mostly ______ existing in the water
7, HCO3
due to the high ____ content and thus _____ strength, the pka2 in the ocean is ____. seawater is at a pH of _____ and well buffered. Adding anthropogenic CO2 will cause ____ to decrease,, pH to ____ and make it difficult for ____ to grow and harder to ___ future changes with additional CO2
salt, ionic, 9.4, 8, CO3, decrease, corals, buffer
includes only those species present when CO2 is added to pure water: CO3, HCO3, OH-, H+ (can ignore [OH] or [H] in pH < 7 or pH > 7 respectively)
carbonate alkalinity
the combined total when other bases contribute to the alkalinity
total alkalinity
____ water can absorb more CO2 than neutral water; a low [H+] means that a shift in reaction to the right results in _____ CO2 dissolved, increased, _____ and _____ alkalinity
basic, more, DIC, increased
water gains alkalinity primarily due to dissolution of _____, which increases ______ forms of DIC, and increases the_____
CaCO3, basic, pH
measure of “mineral” content of water (dissolved solids/ions)
water hardness
____ is generally the highest concentration of all cations in freshwater systems, although ____ can also contribute. Water with more ____ can dissolve more Ca minerals, which means it is dependent on T, ____, ____, _____, respiration and ____
Ca2+, Mg2+, CO2. P, S, pH, PS
Vancouver has the _____ water, with <_____mg/l, because the coast mountains mostly contain ______
softest, 3, granite
occurs when Ca2+ complexes with soap to form a neutral species, which makes soap insoluble in water, instead of soluble due to the exposed ionic end of the O-
scum
Deposits of CaCO3 that form when hard water is boiled due to increase of temperature which forms the precipitate, and due to the fact that less CO2 can be dissolved
scale
added CO2 to the oceans results in carbonic acid, which releases a _____. The _____ absorbs that proton, which means the overall ____ concentration decrease. This makes it difficult for marine organisms to use it for their ____
proton, CO3, carbonate, shells
_____ ____ caused by neighbouring coal mining industries are mostly a problem of the past because it is a _____ source, which means it can be treated there. However, below a pH of _____, Al ions are mobilized from insoluble clay minerals to a dissolved and _____ form which kills fish
acid rain, point, 5, bioavailable
_____ _____ with high sulfur content, results in emission of _____ causing acidification due to the production of ______, can be regulated. _____ also becomes _____ and results in acidification
dirty coal, SO2, H2SO4, NO2, HNO3
