0.0012 mol of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) are added to 1 L of purewater.
a) If the solubility of sodium carbonate is 215 g/L, would youexpect all of the sodium carbonate to dissolve?
b) Would the resulting solution be acidic, basic, or neutral?Explain your answer with showing the equilibrium reactionsinvolved.
c) Using your answer from part b), what assumption can you makeabout the concentration of dissolved CO2and carbonic acid, [H2CO3 *]?
d) Calculate the pH of the solution.
