Ionic equilibria acid-base buffer systems

Consider just a few cases of aqueous equilibria. The magnificent formations i n limestone caves and the vast expanses of oceanic coral reefs result from subtle shifts in carbonate solubility equilibria. Carbonates also influence soil pH and prevent acidification of lakes by acid rain. Equilibria involving carbon dioxide and phosphates help organisms maintain cellular pH within narrow limits. Equilibria involving clays in soils control the availability of ionic nutrients for plants. The principles of ionic equilibrium also govern how water is softened, how substances are purified by precipitation of unwanted ions, and even how the weak acids in wine and vinegar influence the delicate taste of a fine French sauce. In this chapter, we explore three aqueous ionic equilibrium systems acid-base buffers, slightly soluble salts, and complex ions. [Pg.616]
