What effect does carbon dioxide have on tap water
2 answers:
Answer:
It will decrease the pH of the water.
Explanation:
When carbon dioxide gets dissolved in water, it changes its pH.
The pH of water will become acidic.
In dissolved state, carbon dioxide forms carbonic acid with water as shown in the equation.
This carbonic acid gets dissociated as shown in equation.
Due to increase in concentration of hydrogen ion, the pH of water decreases.

Answer:
pH ≅ 4.80
Explanation:
Given that:
the volume of HN₃ = 25 mL = 0.025 L
Molarity of HN₃ = 0.150 M
number of moles of HN₃ = 0.025 × 0.150
number of moles of HN₃ = 0.00375 mol
Molarity of NaOH = 0.150 M
the volume of NaOH = 13.3 mL = 0.0133
number of moles of NaOH = 0.0133× 0.150
number of moles of NaOH = 0.001995 mol
The chemical equation for the reaction of this process can be written as:
1 mole of hydrazoic acid react with 1 mole of hydroxide to give nitride ion and water
thus the new number of moles of HN₃ = 0.00375 - 0.001995 = 0.001755 mol
Total volume used in the reaction = 0.025 + 0.0133 = 0.0383 L
Concentration of =
= 0.0458 M
Concentration of =
= 0.0521 M
GIven that :
Ka =
Thus; it's pKa = 4.72
pH ≅ 4.80
