Initially pure water enters an aquifer lined with limestone (solid CaCO3). Assume that the water is isolated from the atmosphere at a temperature of 25 oC.

(a)Set up a system of equations that you could use to solve for the equilibrium pH of the water.

(b)Calculate the equilibrium pH. You may do this either by using some chemistry intuition (though you must justify your simplifying assumptions!) or by solving the system of equations (using your calculator or Maple or Excel or whatever equation solver of your choice).
