Activity and Concentration
• Activity – “effective concentration”• Ion-ion and ion-H2O interactions (hydration
shell) cause number of ions available to react chemically ("free" ions) to be less than the number present

ALKALINITY refers to water's ability, or inability, to neutralize acids.
The terms alkalinity and total alkalinity are often used to define the same thing.

Total alkalinity - sum of the bases in equivalents that are titratable with strong acid (the ability of a solution to neutralize strong acids)
Bases which can neutralize acids in natural waters: HCO3
–, CO32–, B(OH)4
–, H3SiO4
–, HS–, organic acids (e.g., acetate CH3COO–, formate HCOO–)

Carbonate alkalinity
• Alkalinity ≈ (HCO3–) + 2(CO3
2–)
• Reason is that in most natural waters, ionized silicic acid and organic acids are present in only small concentrations
• If pH around 7, then– Alkalinity ≈ HCO3

Gran Titration for Acid Neutralizing Capacity (total
alkalinity)• This method determines ANC by
titration with 0.1 N Hydrochloric Acid between the pH range of 4.5 and 3.5 at which the contributions of organic acids, carbonate and bicarbonate are neutralized.

• Alkalinity is routinely measured in natural water samples. By measuring only two parameters, such as alkalinity and pH, the remaining parameters that define the carbonate chemistry of the solution (PCO2, [HCO3
–], [CO32–], [H2CO3])
can be determined.

Calcium (Ca++) and Magnesium (Mg++) are primarily responsible for hardness. However, in most waters, alkalinity and hardness have similar values because the carbonates and bicarbonates responsible for total alkalinity are usually in the form of Calcium carbonate or Magnesium carbonate. However, waters with high total alkalinity are not always hard, since the carbonates can be in the form of Sodium or Potassium carbonate.

CLOSED CARBONATE SYSTEM
• Carbon dioxide is not lost or gained to the atmosphere
• Total carbonate species (CT) is constant regardless of the pH of the system
• Occurs when acid-base reactions much faster than gas dissolution reactions
• Equilibrium with atmosphere ignored

How does [CO3–2] respond to changes in Alk or DIC?
CT = [H2CO3*] + [ HCO3
–] + [CO3–2]
~ [ HCO3
–] + [CO3–2] (an approximation)
Alk = [OH–] + [HCO3
–] + 2[CO3–2] + [B(OH)4
-] – [H+]
~ [HCO3
–] + 2[CO3–2] (a.k.a. “carbonate alkalinity”)
So (roughly):
[CO3–2] ~ Alk – CT
CT ↑ , [CO3
–2] ↓ Alk ↑ , [CO3–2] ↑

Photosynthesis is the biochemical process in which plants and algae harness the energy of sunlight to produce food. Photosynthesis of aquatic plants and algae in the water occurs when sunlight acts on the chlorophyll in the plants. Here is the general equation:
6 H20 + 6 CO2 + light energy —> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
Note that photosynthesis consumes dissolved CO2 and produces dissolved oxygen (DO). we can see that a decrease in dissolved CO2 results in a lower concentration of carbonic acid (H2CO3), according to:
CO2 + H20 <=> H2CO3 (carbonic acid)
As the concentration of H2CO3 decreases so does the concentration of H+, and thus the pH increases.

Cellular Respiration
Cellular respiration is the process in which organisms, including plants, convert the chemical bonds of energy-rich molecules such as glucose into energy usable for life processes.
The equation for the oxidation of glucose is:
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 —> 6 H20 + 6 CO2 + energy
As CO2 increases, so does H+, and pH decreases.
Cellular respiration occurs in plants and algae during the day and night, whereas photosynthesis occurs only during daylight.
