Question
For the diprotic weak acid \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \), \( K_{\text{a}_1} = 3.7 \times 10^{-6} \) and \( K_{\text{a}_2} = 6.1 \times 10^{-9} \).

What is the pH of a 0.0800 M solution of \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \)?

\[ \text{pH} = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]

What are the equilibrium concentrations of \( \text{H}_2\text{A} \) and \( \text{A}^{2-} \) in this solution?

\[ [\text{H}_2\text{A}] = \underline{\hspace{4cm}} \, \text{M} \]

\[ [\text{A}^{2-}] = \underline{\hspace{4cm}} \, \text{M} \]
