Question

Oceanic uptake of carbon dioxide is thus described:
CO₂ (g) + H₂O ⇔ H₂CO₃, K = [H₂CO₃]/P_CO2 = 3 x 10^-2M atm^-1
H₂CO₃ ⇔ HCO₃^- + H⁺, K = [HCO₃^-][H+]/[H₂CO₃] = 9 x 10^-7 moles/L
HCO₃^- ⇔ CO₃² ^- + H⁺, K = [CO₃² ^-][H+]/[HCO₃^-] = 7 x 10^-10 moles/L

CaCO₃ ⇔ Ca²⁺+ CO₃^2- K_c = 4 x 10^-9 M²

What is the full charge balance equation for this system?
