Carbon Dioxide and Carbonic Acid Species in Natural Waters

TABLE 5.1 Some important acids (HA ) and their conjugate bases (A ) in natural waters, and pKg (-log Kg) values for the acids, where Kg = [H l[A ]/[HA l [Pg.153]

Note A conjugate ba,sc is the base formed when an acid gives or donates a proton. Parenthetic values are estimates. [Pg.153]

Northern Oman (Neal and Stanger 1985). pH s around 10 are also found in evaporitic lakes, high in Na carbonate and bicarbonate concentrations, and in streams and lakes clogged with active photosynthetic aquatic plants (cf. Berner and Berner 1987). Detailed di.scussion of these and other processes that affect the C02(aq) or carbonic-acid content of surface- and groundwaters, and thus the pH, is presented next. [Pg.153]
