(20 marks) QUESTION 2 When trying to find the acidity of calcium carbonate in sulphuric acid, researcher has obtained the following equation; A(C) = C3 +3.5C2 40 Where, C is the concentration of hydroxonium ion. Find the concentration of the hydroxonium ion in saturated solution (acidity is equals zero) using following method. Estimate the initial concentration of the ion in range of 2 to 5 mg/L. The acceptable concentration must have approximate percent relative error less than 2%. Standardize all of the calculation up to 4 decimal points. i) Bisection method ii) MATLAB (graphically) iii) Compare both (i and ii) results Note Question 2 i) should be presented as a manual calculation while Question 2 ii) should be presented as MATLAB print out.
