Chapter 8: Q18 P (page 184)

Write the charge balance for a solution containing $H^{+}, {OH}^{-}, {Ca}^{2 +}, {HCO}_{3}^{-}, {CO}_{3}^{2 -}, Ca {({HCO}_{3})}^{+}, Ca {(OH)}^{+}, K^{+} and {ClO}_{4}^{-}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The charge balance of solution is,

$[H^{+}] + 2 [{Ca}^{2 +}] + [Ca {({HCO}_{3})}^{+}] + [Ca {(OH)}^{+}] + [K^{+}] = [{OH}^{-}] + [{HCO}_{3}^{-}] + 2 [{CO}_{3}^{2 -}] + [{ClO}_{4}^{-}]$

Step by step solution

Definition of charge balance

The charge balance is an algebraic statement of electroneutrality: The sum of the positive charges in solution equals the sum of the negative charges in solution.

We are given,

$H^{+}, {OH}^{-}, {Ca}^{2 +}, {HCO}_{3}^{-}, {CO}_{3}^{2 -}, Ca {({HCO}_{3})}^{+}, Ca {(OH)}^{+}, K^{+} and {ClO}_{4}^{-}$

Balancing the charge for given solution

We have to note that, the Solution must have zero total charge.

$H^{+}, {OH}^{-}, {Ca}^{2 +}, {HCO}_{3}^{-}, {CO}_{3}^{2 -}, Ca {({HCO}_{3})}^{+}, Ca {(OH)}^{+}, K^{+} and {ClO}_{4}^{-}$

Balancing the chargefor the above solution, we get

$[H^{+}] + 2 [{Ca}^{2 +}] + [Ca {({HCO}_{3})}^{+}] + [Ca {(OH)}^{+}] + [K^{+}] = [{OH}^{-}] + [{HCO}_{3}^{-}] + 2 [{CO}_{3}^{2 -}] + [{ClO}_{4}^{-}]$

Where, the coefficient of each term in the charge balance equals the magnitude of the charge on each ion.

Therefore, the charge balance of the given solution is,

$[H^{+}] + 2 [{Ca}^{2 +}] + [Ca {({HCO}_{3})}^{+}] + [Ca {(OH)}^{+}] + [K^{+}] = [{OH}^{-}] + [{HCO}_{3}^{-}] + 2 [{CO}_{3}^{2 -}] + [{ClO}_{4}^{-}]$
