pH adjustment
« on: February 13, 2008, 12:34:50 AM »
So I have a question. What is the [S -2] in a saturated solution 9.10 M of H2S, in which the pH has been adjusted to 5.00 by the addition of HCl? For H2S, Ka1= 1.1 x 10-7 and Ka2 = 1.0 x -14.

At pH of 5 only H2S exists which solubility is about 0.1 M.
Approximate concentration of S2- can be calculated from
K1K2=[H3O+]2[S2-]/[H2S]
