From the diprotic titration, the half-equivalence pH for the first dissociation is 2.5; for the second dissociation is 6.4.
What are pKa1 and pKa2?
- A
pKa1 = pKa2 = 4.45
- B
pKa1 = 5.0; pKa2 = 12.8
- Ccheck_circle
pKa1 = 2.5; pKa2 = 6.4
- D
pKa1 = 6.4; pKa2 = 2.5
Explanation
At each half-equivalence, pH = pKa. So pKa1 = 2.5 and pKa2 = 6.4.
