3. Some projection models put the carbon dioxide concentration at 1255 ppm by the year 2100. Calculate [CO2] in rainwater at this concentration. KH-.034 mol/(L Atm). Calculate the pH of the rainwater if all the CO2 reacts with water to produce carbonic acid (H2CO3, pKa 3.6) (ignore the partial pressure of water).
