A solution has a pH of 7.3 and an alkalinity of 25 mg/L as CaCO3. Essentially all the alkalinity is contributed by the carbonate system. The water also contains 10^(-4) M Fe2+ (5.5 mg Fe2+/L). To remove the iron, oxygen is injected into the solution, converting the Fe2+ to Fe3+; the Fe3+ then precipitates as ferric
hydroxide according to the following reaction: Fe2+ 1/4O2 + 2.5H20 -> Fe(OH)3 + 2H+.

Calculate the pH of water after the reactions are complete.

(There is a similar solution for this on Chegg but I think it is incorrect as it did not take the presence of alkalinity into account)
