Assuming the first ionization of sulphuric acid is 100% and the K_{a2} of sulphuric acid is 0.10M at 25 degree celsius.(Ka is the acid disocciation constant)
a. Find the pH of a 0.1M NaHSO_4
b. Calculate the molarities of H^+, HSO_4^-, SO_4^{2-} respectively in 0.1M H_2SO_4
Here are my steps:
a. Let a be the degree of dissociation.
K_{a2} = \frac{a^2}{0.1-a} = 0.1
a = 0.0618
pH = - log 0.0618 = 1.21
I have no idea of how to do part b. Please help me with it and tell me whether I have done right in part a.
