Determine the ph of a 0.18 m h2co3 solution. carbonic acid is a diprotic acid whose ka1 = 4.3 × 10-7 and ka2 = 5.6 × 10-11. determine the ph of a 0.18 m h2co3 solution. carbonic acid is a diprotic acid whose ka1 = 4.3 × 10-7 and ka2 = 5.6 × 10-11. 4.31 5.50 11.00 10.44 3.56

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
