pH and concentrations
« on: March 10, 2006, 11:02:37 PM »
I need to find the ph and concentrations of H2SO3, HSO3-, SO3 2-, HeO+ and OH- in a .025 M HwSO3 solution.  Any help appreciated.

HeO+ [...] HwSO3

Huh??? Do you mean H3O+ and H2SO3?

pH is defined by the first dissociation step (calculate as for monoprotic weak acid, difference in pKas is about 5, large enough), rest is simple stoichiometry and clever use of Ka2 and Kw definitions.

Or - if you just interested in result, not in the calculations - follow BATE link from my signature.
