Question

17.9(a) A water supply was found to have a bicarbonate-ion concentration of 50 and a CO, content of 30 mg/L. Estimate the approximate pH of the water(temperature equals 25°C).mg/L (b)

If the CO, content of the water in part (a) were reduced to 3 mg/L by aeration what would the pH then be?
