the pH of modern rain water (= 5.61) in equilibrium with air at 25°C and a total pressure of 1 atmosphere, with a partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2) = 10-3.4 atmospheres (which equals 400 ppm by volume). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that CO2 concentrations in 2050 may reach 600 ppm (PCO2 = 10–3.22 atmospheres).   (a) Calculate the pH of rain water in equilibrium with 600 ppm of CO2.   (b) By what factor (i.e. multiplier) is (H+) higher or lower in 2050 rain water vs. modern rain water?

the pH of modern rain water (= 5.61) in equilibrium with air at 25°C and a total pressure of 1 atmosphere, with a partial pressure of CO2 (PCO2) = 10-3.4 atmospheres (which equals 400 ppm by volume). The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that CO2 concentrations in 2050 may reach 600 ppm (PCO2 = 10–3.22 atmospheres).

 

(a) Calculate the pH of rain water in equilibrium with 600 ppm of CO2.

 

(b) By what factor (i.e. multiplier) is (H+) higher or lower in 2050 rain water vs. modern rain water?
