b.) Starting with a 0.55 M solution of H2A, you want to know the pH and the final concentrations of all
ions present. You find the Ka values for the two dissociation steps:
Ka1
= 1.5 x 10-4
Ka2 = 2.0 x 10-7
i.) The first step for this problem is to consider the first dissociation reaction on its own. Below, solve for
the concentrations of the ions involved at the end of the first dissociation and the percent ionization.
You should end up with 3 total concentrations.

Below, solve for the concentrations of the ions involved at the end of the first dissociation and the percent ionization. You should end up with 3 total concentrations.
ii.) Now you've accounted for the ionization of the first proton. But what about the second step? You'll
need to make another RICE chart to figure out what the final concentrations of all the ions will be. Think
carefully about what your initial values should be. (Hint: instead of x, you might want to use y this time
to make your work less confusing). Solve for all the final concentrations and the pH. You should end up
with 4 total concentrations.
iii.) If all went well, you should have found that y is approximately equal to Ka2. Why is this the case?
(Look at your Ka2 expression and consider the size of y).
