1. Please answer the questions below for an aqueous solution with pH of approximately 8.0 containing the following solutes in water: Na, Mg2+, Sr2+, K+, CI, B(OH)3, B(OH), H3SiO4, H4SiO4, PO43, HPO4?-, H2PO4, H3PO4, and DIC a. Give the At (total alkalinity) expression as a proton balance between proton acceptors and proton donors. [5 pts] b. Give the As expression as a charge balance among conservative ions that do not exchange protons to any significant extent at this pH. [5 pts] c. If we precipitated MgCO3(s) from this solution, how will As change? Please answer this by examining: (a) proton balance, and (b) charge balance. [3+3 pts] (a) Explain change in At through proton balance: (b) Explain change in At through charge balance:
