Question
Calculate the p H of the diprotic acid H2 A (such as H2 SO4) where the
dissociation of the first H is strong and the dissociation of the second H is
weak but the 5% rule does not apply (K2 is too large relative to the initial
concentration of H Aminus).
Step 1: H2 A + H2 O → H Aminus + H3 Oplus where K1 is large
Step 2: H Aminus + H2 O = A² minus + H3Oplus K2 = 0.012
%3D
Assume the initial concentration of H2A is 0.0133 M.
Hint: The H3 Oplus concentration is not zero when setting up your I CE
table for step 2 and be sure to consider the total molarity of H3 Oplus when
calculating the p H.
