For Part B, Your KH is 0.042 mol/(L*atm), K1=4.47 x 10-7, and K2= 4.68 x 10-11
B) If you have a pH of 8.2 and an atmospheric concentration of 280 ppm CO2 (which is a partial pressure of CO2 of 280 x 10-6 atm), what are your concentrations of [CO2](aq), and [HCO3-] and what is your total dissolved carbon (the sum of these two carbon ions) in mol/L. Recalculate this if your atmospheric concentration of CO2 is 400 ppm and pH is 8.1.
C) If there is 1.3 x 1021 L of water in the world's oceans, how much more carbon (in kg) can be stored in the oceans today at equilibrium (with 400 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere and ocean pH of 8.1) compared to pre-industrial revolution (when it was 280 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere and pH of 8.2). convert the mol/L in part B to kg C (0.012 kg C/mol C)
