Question

How would you approach calculating the pH of a solution with a fully protonated polyprotic acid with an initial concentration of 0.05 M and K_{a1} = 1.0 x $$10^{-3}$$?

Accepted Answer

Use the ICE chart method with K_{a1} to find [$$H^{+}$$], then calculate pH using pH = -log([$$H^{+}$$]).

Answer

Use the ICE chart method with K_{a2} to find [$$H^{+}$$], then calculate pH using pH = -log([$$H^{+}$$]).

Answer

Use the ICE chart method with K_{a3} to find [$$H^{+}$$], then calculate pH using pH = -log([$$H^{+}$$]).

Answer

Use the ICE chart method with K_{b1} to find [$$OH^{-}$$], then calculate pH using pH = 14 - pOH.
