What is the concentration after adding HCl?
« on: July 15, 2013, 01:48:46 PM »
What is the S2- concentration in a saturated solution (0.10 M) of H2S, in which the pH has been adjusted to 6.00 by the addition of HCl?  For H2S, Ka1 = 1.1 x 10-7 and Ka2 = 1.0 x 10-14.

      a)   1.1 x 10-16M                d)   3.2 x 10-8M

      b)   1.1 x 10-10M                e)   3.2 x 10-6M

      c)   1.0 x 10-2M

Need help. Not sure how to do this.

hint:

- write an expression for Ka1 * Ka2

- remember: c0 [itex]\approx [/itex] c for weak acids
