13C-nmr spectra of carbon dioxide in water are reported for a wide range in pH. Chemical shifts were determined for the following species: CO2(g), CO2(aq), HCO3−(aq), CO32−(aq). A linear relationship was found between the shift of the 13C line and the fraction of carbonate ion calculated to be present, as well as between the ratio of the area under the 1067 cm−1 (carbonate) Raman peak to the sum of the area under the 1067 cm−1 and 1017 cm−1 (bicarbonate) peaks and the fraction carbonate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
