Part (a)
For a diprotic acid, dissociation is two step process which is as follows,
Thus, for step 1, the equilibrium equation is given as,
Thus, when pH=pKa1 = 5.00, we have, [HA-] = [H2A] i.e the curve of [HA-] and [H2A] are intersecting.
Similarly, for step 2, we will have,
Thus, when pH=pKa1 = 9.00, we have, [HA-] = [A2-] i.e the curve of [HA-] and [A2-] are intersecting.
Thus, we see that the curve of HA- intersects twice, once the curve of H2A at pH= 5.00 and then the curve of A2- at pH=9.00. Hence this is the central curve (deep blue color).
The curve for H2A intersects that of HA- at pH=5.00. Thus, it is the red colored curve.
The third curve i.e. sky blue color one is of A2-
Part (b)
Here, we will assume that [A2-]=a, [HA-] =b and [H2A] =c.
pH=5.25
Thus, from Equation (1), we will obtain,
From equation (2), we have,
The fraction, can be written
as,
For HA-
For A2-

A buffer solution is able to maintain a constant pH when small amounts of acid or base are added to the buffer. Consider what happens when 1 mL of a 5 M solution is added or 0.005 mol of HCl are added to a 100.0 mL solution acetic acid buffer that contains 0.0100 mol of Acetic acid, HC,H,O,, and 0.0100 mol of sodium acetate, NaC,H,O,.
