How is the total [H3O*] of a 0.050 M aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, H,SO4, determined?
O H2SO, is polyprotic, so ignore Ka1, and use only Ka2 to solve for the [H3O*]
O Since it is strong acid, the total [H3O*] is equal to 0.050 M.
O Make use of both K,1 and K2 and solve the quadratic formula.
O First, [H3O*] = 0.050 M, then use K,2 to solve for the additional [H0*] from the second ionization
