Chapter 18, Problem 98A
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The balance chemical equations for two successive ionization of carbonic acid in water are to be written. The conjugate-base pair is also to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The concept of conjugate acid-base pair is given by Arrhenius.

According to it,

Acid is a substance which donate hydrogen ion and Base is a substance which accept hydrogen ion.

When acid donates H+, the species form is conjugate base and when base accepts H+, the species form is conjugate acid.

Polyprotic acid is the acid which can give more than one proton in aqueous solution.

Acids are classified into monoprotic, diprotic and triprotic acid according to number of hydrogen ions it gives in aqueous solution.

Answer to Problem 98A

First ionization equation:

H2CO3+H2OH3O++HCO3

Acid:

H2CO3

Base: H2O

Conjugate base: HCO3

Conjugate acid: H3O+

Second ionization equation:

HCO3+H2OH3O++CO32

Acid:

HCO3

Base: H2O

Conjugate base: CO32

Conjugate acid: H3O+

Explanation of Solution

Carbonic acid is diprotic. It has two acidic protons. So it ionizes as:

First ionization equation:

H2CO3+H2OH3O++HCO3

Second ionization equation:

HCO3+H2OH3O++CO32

By Bronsted-Lowry concept:

In first equation,

Acid:

H2CO3

Base: H2O

Conjugate base: HCO3

Conjugate acid: H3O+

In second equation,

Acid:

HCO3

Base: H2O

Conjugate base: CO32

Conjugate acid: H3O+

Conclusion

Carbonic acid is diprotic. It has two acidic protons. So it ionizes in two steps.
