Question

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?
