Selenic acid, H2SeO4, is a diprotic acid that actually is a strong acid for the donation of its first proton and has a pKa2 = 1.7. What will be the Ka and the chemical equation for showing the donation of the second proton? (hint: products will be H3O+ and SeO42-) I take 2.00 g the pure compound and dilute it to 100.0 mL of solution. Find the initial concentration and use two ICE tables to show the equilibrium concentrations of [H3O+], [OH-], [HSeO42-] and [SeO42-]. What will be the concentration of H2SeO4? (hint: no math is necessary here as this is a strong acid).

Question
  • Selenic acid, H2SeO4, is a diprotic acid that actually is a strong acid for the donation of its first proton and has a pKa2 = 1.7.
    1. What will be the Ka and the chemical equation for showing the donation of the second proton? (hint: products will be H3O+ and SeO42-)
    2. I take 2.00 g the pure compound and dilute it to 100.0 mL of solution. Find the initial concentration and use two ICE tables to show the equilibrium concentrations of [H3O+], [OH-], [HSeO42-] and [SeO42-].
    3. What will be the concentration of H2SeO4? (hint: no math is necessary here as this is a strong acid).
