**Diprotic Weak Acid Equilibrium**

For the diprotic weak acid \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \), the ionization constants are given as \( K_{a1} = 2.4 \times 10^{-6} \) and \( K_{a2} = 6.9 \times 10^{-9} \).

**Problem 1: Calculating the pH**

What is the pH of a 0.0500 M solution of \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \)?

\[ \text{pH} = \] \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \]

**Problem 2: Equilibrium Concentrations**

What are the equilibrium concentrations of \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \) and \( \text{A}^{2-} \) in this solution?

\[ [\text{H}_2\text{A}] = \] \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \] \(\text{M}\)

\[ [\text{A}^{2-}] = \] \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \] \(\text{M}\)
