The neutralization of a strong acid and strong base has an enthalpy change, ∆H°, = -55.9 kJ/mol. The net ionic equation for this reaction is H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⇌ H₂O(l) which is the reverse of the autoionization of water, and therefore its equilibrium constant, K = 1.0 × 10¹⁴ at 25°C. You can determine ∆S° from this data. Use the ∆H° and ∆S° values to calculate ∆G° at 95°C. Assume ∆H° and ∆S° are temperature independent.

1. You are taking samples at a contaminated mine site from a carbonate aquifer to determine the concentration of dissolved lead in the sample. To preserve the sample, you acidify it to pH 5. How much HCl, in equivalents/L, must be added to this sample to make it pH 5 if the total carbonate concentration is 102 M and the initial pH is 10? Note that the total carbonate is the sum of all of the carbonate species ([H2CO3]+[HCO3] + [CO2]) present in the sample. What are the acid-base pairs responsible for buffering in this sample?
