The average pH of precipitation in rural areas is 5.70. calculate the amount of calcium carbonate (mg) dissolved per liter of rainwater.

Could you please explain what formula and step are invovled and please provide (example) if possible?

The average pH of precipitation in rural areas is 5.70. Assuming that the pH is controlled by the carbonate system, i.e., no anthropogenic acid gases are present in the atmosphere, calculate the amount of calcium carbonate (mg) dissolved per liter of rainwater. pKa1=6.33, KCO2=3.388e-02


Solution Summary

The solution includes detailed explanation of the calculation of concentration of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) dissolved in rainwater with known pH of the precipitation.
