Answer:

Water has the unique ability to dissolve many polar and ionic substances. This is important to all living things because, as water travels through the water cycle, it takes many valuable nutrients along with it! Water has high heat capacity.

lorasvet [3.4K]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

           CO_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O \rightleftharpoons H^{+}(aq) + HCO^{-}_{3}(aq)

Calculate the amount of CO_{2} dissolved as follows.

             CO_{2}(aq) = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}

It is given that K_{CO_{2}} = 0.032 M/atm and P_{CO_{2}} = 1.9 \times 10^{-4} atm.

Hence, [CO_{2}] will be calculated as follows.

           [CO_{2}] = K_{CO_{2}} \times P_{CO_{2}}          

                           = 0.032 M/atm \times 1.9 \times 10^{-4}atm

                           = 0.0608 \times 10^{-4}

or,                        = 0.608 \times 10^{-5}

It is given that K_{a} = 4.46 \times 10^{-7}

As,      K_{a} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{[CO_{2}]}

          4.46 \times 10^{-7} = \frac{[H^{+}]^{2}}{0.608 \times 10^{-5}}  

               [H^{+}]^{2} = 2.71 \times 10^{-12}

                      [H^{+}] = 1.64 \times 10^{-6}

Since, we know that pH = -log [H^{+}]

So,                      pH = -log (1.64 \times 10^{-6})

                                 = 5.7

Therefore, we can conclude that pH of water in equilibrium with the atmosphere is 5.7.

What is an element considered a pure substance?
Alona [7]

A compound is a pure substance composed of two or more different atoms chemically bonded to one another. A compound can be destroyed by chemical means. It might be broken down into simpler compounds, into its elements or a combination of the two.
