Document Summary

Acid-base and solubility reactions: control concentrations of dissolved inorganic ions, ph mainly controlled by dissolution of atmospheric co2. Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions: controls concentrations of organic content in water. Parts per blank is the ratio of mass of solute to the mass of the solution. Solubility of gases and vocs: volatile substances that are dissolved in water can eventually evaporate, substances present in air can dissolve in water. When equilibrium is established, henry"s law is used to determine concentration of substance in water, or partial pressure in air. The main oxidizing agent in natural waters is dissolved molecular o2 gas. Each o atom is reduced from 0 oxidation to -2 oxidation,in h2o or oh-. Sum of oxidation numbers = net charge on formula. Group 1, 2 metals = +1, +2; al is +3. The electrons needed for this process are usually acquired from dissolved or suspended organic matter, producing the overall reaction:
