A hypothetical acid is both a strong acid and a diprotic acid. (a) Calculate the pH of a 0.050 M solution of , assuming that only one proton ionizes per acid molecule. (b) Calculate the pH of the solution from part (a), now assuming that both protons of each acid molecule completely ionize. (c) In an experiment it is observed that the pH of a 0.050 M solution of is 1.27. Comment on the relative acid strengths of (d) Would a solution of the salt NaHX be acidic, basic, or neutral? Explain.
