Question

Provide the chemical formulas and the names of the three predominant carbonic acid species indicated by arrows in the image below:

Species 1

species 2

Species 3

Explain i) how you can determine the pH range at which a weak acid/conjugate base system will display buffering properties.ii) what is the reason/logic behind the rule applied in i)? and iii) indicate the pH ranges of the carbonic acid system based on the pka values provided above.

Provide the chemical equilibrium that describes the carbonic acid buffer system that exists at pH 9.3. Clearly indicate the chemical formulas, identify the weak acid and it’s conjugate base, and the names of the chemical compounds.
