Using Pauling’s rules, calculate the pKa values (all) of following acids: (PKa1,Pka2 or pka3 if acid is polyprotic)
H3PO4, H3PO3 and H3PO2
Pauling's rule predict the pKa of acids based on the number of oxo groups and hydroxyl group in the acid.
Rule 1
If an oxoacid of element E can be written as , its pKa is .
Rule 2
The successive pKa value of polyprotic acids that have more than one OH increases by 5 unit for each proton transfer.
Now, the structure of the given acids are
For
It can be written as . Hence, it is a polyprotic acid with 3 abstractable protons.
Hence, x = 1, y = 3.
Thus the pKa1 =
Applying rule 2,
Similarly
Now for
It can be written as . It has two abstractable protons.
Hence, x=1, y=2.
pKa1 =
Now for
It can be written as .It is not a polyprotic acid. Hence, it only has one pKa value.
x=1,y=1.

EDTA is a hexaprotic system with the pKa values: pKa1=0.00, pKa2=1.50, pKa3=2.00, pKa4=2.69, pKa5=6.13, and pKa6=10.37. The distribution of the various protonated forms of EDTA will therefore vary with pH. For equilibrium calculations involving metal complexes with EDTA, it is convenient to calculate the fraction of EDTA that is in the completely unprotonated form, Y4−. This fraction is designated αY4−. Calculate αY4− at two pH values; ph=3.20 and ph=10.20
