Question
**Question 12**

The following pictures represent solutions at various stages in the titration of a weak diprotic acid \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \) with aqueous KOH. Unshaded spheres represent H atoms, black spheres represent oxygen atoms, and shaded spheres represent \( \text{A}^{2-} \) ions. (\( \text{K}^+ \), \( \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ \) initially present, \( \text{OH}^- \) initially present and solvent water molecules have been omitted for clarity.)

**Diagram Explanation:**

1. **Picture (1):** Contains only molecules of the form \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \).
2. **Picture (2):** Contains a mix of \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \) and \( \text{HA}^- \) ions.
3. **Picture (3):** Contains a mix of \( \text{HA}^- \) and \( \text{A}^{2-} \) ions.
4. **Picture (4):** Contains only \( \text{A}^{2-} \) ions.

*Which picture represents the system halfway to the first equivalence point?*
