Question

What steps would you take to determine the pH of a solution containing a fully deprotonated base form of a polyprotic acid?

Accepted Answer

Set up an ICE chart using K_b1 to find [OH^-], then calculate pH using pH = 14 - pOH.

Answer

Set up an ICE chart using K_a3 to find [H⁺], then calculate pH using pH = -log([H⁺]).
