Question 1

What is a characteristic of polyprotic acids?

  • They can donate one proton
  • They can donate multiple protons
  • They do not dissociate

💡 Hint: Think of acids that can give away at least two hydrogens.

Question 2

True or False: In weak polyprotic acids, each dissociation has the same strength.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider how the strength of an acid is defined by its dissociation constants.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A solution of 0.1 M sulfuric acid is prepared. Calculate the pH considering both the first and second dissociations.

💡 Hint: Use an ICE table to account for both dissociations.

Question 2

Calculate the pH of a 0.05 M phosphoric acid solution by using the first dissociation constant and ignoring property contributions from other steps.

💡 Hint: Focus on the concentration changes for just the first dissociation.
