(PLEASE SONT FORGET THE GRAPH)
Using the following set of reactions, generate a log Ca vs.pH diagram depicting the solubility of calcite and accounting for hydroxide complexation.
CaCO3(s),larrCa2+,+CO32-,logKsp=-8.48
Ca2++OH-,larrCaOH+,logK1=4.40
H2CO3,larrH+,+HCO3-,logKal,CO=-6.35
HCO3-,larrH+,+CO32-,logK12,CO=-10.33
H2O,larrH+,+OH-,logKw=-14.0
Assume this conditional system (closed with solid yet to form; constant CT,CO) can be used to predict Ca solubility in a lime-soda ash chemical precipitation water softening plant.
i) If the system is operated at pH9.30 and the effluent alkalinity is 35mgCaCO3L, what is the minimum solubility of Ca in equilibrium with calcite? Report your answer as (mgCaL). State any assumptions.
ii) If the pH remained constant and the effluent alkalinity increased to 70mgCaCO2, would Ca solubility increase or decrease? Defend your answer (but another logCa-pH diagram is not required).
