Example Bjerrum plot: Change in carbonate system of seawater from ocean acidification.

A Bjerrum plot (named after Niels Bjerrum), sometimes also known as a Sillén diagram (after Lars Gunnar Sillén), or a Hägg diagram (after Gunnar Hägg)[1] is a graph of the concentrations of the different species of a polyprotic acid in a solution, as a function of pH,[2] when the solution is at equilibrium. Due to the many orders of magnitude spanned by the concentrations, they are commonly plotted on a logarithmic scale. Sometimes the ratios of the concentrations are plotted rather than the actual concentrations. Occasionally H+ and OH are also plotted.

Most often, the carbonate system is plotted, where the polyprotic acid is carbonic acid (a diprotic acid), and the different species are dissolved carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, bicarbonate, and carbonate. In acidic conditions, the dominant form is Шаблон:CO2; in basic (alkaline) conditions, the dominant form is Шаблон:Chem; and in between, the dominant form is Шаблон:Chem. At every pH, the concentration of carbonic acid is assumed to be negligible compared to the concentration of dissolved Шаблон:Chem, and so is often omitted from Bjerrum plots. These plots are very helpful in solution chemistry and natural water chemistry. In the example given here, it illustrates the response of seawater pH and carbonate speciation due to the input of man-made Шаблон:Chem emission by the fossil fuel combustion.[3]

The Bjerrum plots for other polyprotic acids, including silicic, boric, sulfuric and phosphoric acids, are other commonly used examples.[2]

Bjerrum plot equations for carbonate system

Distribution of DIC (Carbonate) species with pH for 25C and 5,000 ppm salinity (e.g. salt-water swimming pool) - Bjerrum plot

If carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, hydrogen ions, bicarbonate and carbonate are all dissolved in water, and at chemical equilibrium, their equilibrium concentrations are often assumed to be given by:

<math>\begin{align}[]
      \left[\textrm{CO}_2\right]_\text{eq} &= \frac{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2 + K_1\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq} + K_1 K_2} \times \textrm{DIC}, \\[3pt]
   \left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right]_\text{eq} &= \frac{K_1\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2 + K_1\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq} + K_1 K_2} \times \textrm{DIC}, \\[3pt]
 \left[\textrm{CO}_3^{2-}\right]_\text{eq} &= \frac{K_1 K_2}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2 + K_1\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq} + K_1 K_2} \times \textrm{DIC},

\end{align}</math>

where the subscript 'eq' denotes that these are equilibrium concentrations, K1 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction Шаблон:Chem + Шаблон:Chem Шаблон:Eqm H+ + Шаблон:Chem (i.e. the first acid dissociation constant for carbonic acid), K2 is the equilibrium constant for the reaction Шаблон:Chem Шаблон:Eqm H+ + Шаблон:Chem (i.e. the second acid dissociation constant for carbonic acid), and DIC is the (unchanging) total concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon in the system, i.e. [[[:Шаблон:CO2]]] + [[[:Шаблон:Chem]]] + [[[:Шаблон:Chem]]]. K1, K2 and DIC each have units of a concentration, e.g. mol/L.

A Bjerrum plot is obtained by using these three equations to plot these three species against Шаблон:Nowrap, for given K1, K2 and DIC. The fractions in these equations give the three species' relative proportions, and so if DIC is unknown, or the actual concentrations are unimportant, these proportions may be plotted instead.

These three equations show that the curves for Шаблон:CO2 and Шаблон:Chem intersect at Шаблон:Nowrap, and the curves for Шаблон:Chem and Шаблон:Chem intersect at Шаблон:Nowrap. Therefore, the values of K1 and K2 that were used to create a given Bjerrum plot can easily be found from that plot, by reading off the concentrations at these points of intersection. An example with linear Y axis is shown in the accompanying graph. The values of K1 and K2, and therefore the curves in the Bjerrum plot, vary substantially with temperature and salinity.[4]

Chemical and mathematical derivation of Bjerrum plot equations for carbonate system

Suppose that the reactions between carbon dioxide, hydrogen ions, bicarbonate and carbonate ions, all dissolved in water, are as follows: Шаблон:NumBlk Шаблон:NumBlk

Note that reaction Шаблон:EquationNote is actually the combination of two elementary reactions:

Шаблон:Chem + Шаблон:Chem Шаблон:Eqm Шаблон:Chem Шаблон:Eqm H+ + Шаблон:Chem

Assuming the mass action law applies to these two reactions, that water is abundant, and that the different chemical species are always well-mixed, their rate equations are

<math>\begin{align}
      \frac{\textrm{d}\left[\textrm{CO}_2\right]}{\textrm{d}t} &= -k_1\left[\textrm{CO}_2\right] + k_{-1}\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right], \\
       \frac{\textrm{d}\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]}{\textrm{d}t} &= k_1\left[\textrm{CO}_2\right] - k_{-1}\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right] + k_2\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right] - k_{-2}\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]\left[\textrm{CO}_3^{2-}\right], \\
   \frac{\textrm{d}\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right]}{\textrm{d}t} &= k_1\left[\textrm{CO}_2\right] - k_{-1}\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right] - k_2\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right] + k_{-2}\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]\left[\textrm{CO}_3^{2-}\right], \\
 \frac{\textrm{d}\left[\textrm{CO}_3^{2-}\right]}{\textrm{d}t} &= k_2\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right] - k_{-2}\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]\left[\textrm{CO}_3^{2-}\right]

\end{align}</math>

where Шаблон:Nowrap denotes concentration, t is time, and K1 and k−1 are appropriate proportionality constants for reaction Шаблон:EquationNote, called respectively the forwards and reverse rate constants for this reaction. (Similarly K2 and k−2 for reaction Шаблон:EquationNote.)

Шаблон:Em, the concentrations are unchanging, hence the left hand sides of these equations are zero. Then, from the first of these four equations, the ratio of reaction Шаблон:EquationNote's rate constants equals the ratio of its equilibrium concentrations, and this ratio, called K1, is called the equilibrium constant for reaction Шаблон:EquationNote, i.e. Шаблон:NumBlk = \frac{[\textrm{H}^+]_\text{eq}[\textrm{HCO}_3^-]_\text{eq}}{[\textrm{CO}_2]_\text{eq}}</math>|Шаблон:EquationRef}}

where the subscript 'eq' denotes that these are equilibrium concentrations.

Similarly, from the fourth equation for the equilibrium constant K2 for reaction Шаблон:EquationNote, Шаблон:NumBlk = \frac{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}\left[\textrm{CO}_3^{2-}\right]_\text{eq}}{\left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right]_\text{eq}}</math>|Шаблон:EquationRef}}

Rearranging Шаблон:EquationNote gives Шаблон:NumBlk{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}}</math> Шаблон:Space Шаблон:Space Шаблон:Space Шаблон:Space|Шаблон:EquationRef}}

and rearranging Шаблон:EquationNote, then substituting in Шаблон:EquationNote, gives Шаблон:NumBlk{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}} = \frac{K_1 K_2\left[\textrm{CO}_2\right]_\text{eq}}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2}</math> Шаблон:Space Шаблон:Space Шаблон:Space Шаблон:Space|Шаблон:EquationRef}}

The total concentration of dissolved inorganic carbon in the system is given by substituting in Шаблон:EquationNote and Шаблон:EquationNote:

<math>\begin{align}
 \textrm{DIC}
   &= \left[\textrm{CO}_2\right] + \left[\textrm{HCO}_3^-\right] + \left[\textrm{CO}_3^{2-}\right] \\
   &= \left[\textrm{CO}_2\right]_\text{eq} \left(1 + \frac{K_1}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}} + \frac{K_1 K_2}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2}\right) \\ 
   &= \left[\textrm{CO}_2\right]_\text{eq} \left(\frac{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2 + K_1\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq} + K_1K_2}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2}\right)

\end{align}</math>

Re-arranging this gives the equation for Шаблон:Chem:

<math>\left[\textrm{CO}_2\right]_\text{eq} = \frac{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2}{\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq}^2 + K_1\left[\textrm{H}^+\right]_\text{eq} + K_1 K_2} \times \textrm{DIC}</math>

The equations for Шаблон:Chem and Шаблон:Chem are obtained by substituting this into Шаблон:EquationNote and Шаблон:EquationNote.
