19) The pKo1 of carbonic acid (H,CO3) is 6.36. Calculate pH and the concentration of all species at equilibrium (H3O*, HCO3,
and H2CO3) from an initial concentration of 0.175 M H2CO3.
20) H2CO3 is a polyprotic acid.
a) Define polyprotic acid. Explain why pKa1 (6.36) < pKo2 (10.32).
b) Why is pko2 (10.32) of H2CO3 not taken into account when calculating the pH in problem 19?
c) Draw a titration curve for 0.1 M NaOH added to 0.1 M H,CO3.
