Calculate the pH and the equilibrium concentrations of HSO3- and SO32- in a 0.2910 M sulfurous acid solution, H2SO3 (aq). For H2SO3, Ka1 = 1.7Ă—10-2 and Ka2 = 6.4Ă—10-8. pH = ? [HSO3-] = ? M [SO32-] = ? M

Step 1
Given that the concentration of H+ is 0.2910 M, we can calculate the pH using the formula pH = -log[H+]. pH = -log(0.2910) = 0.5376 Show more…
