Calculate the pH and concentration of species present in a polyprotic acid solution.

Calculate the pH and concentration of species present in a polyprotic acid solution.


For a 3.44×10-3 M solution ofH2CO3, calculate both the pH and the CO32- ion concentration.

H2CO3 + H2O → H3O+ +HCO3-



Ka1 = 4.2×10-7
HCO3- + H2O → H3O+ +CO32-



Ka2 = 4.8×10-11
pH =
[CO32-] =
