Question
In a problem where you would be asked to find the pH of a 0.050M solution of phosphoric acid (Ka= 7.5x10-3), would you be
able to use the usual assumption (% ionization) to find the pH. Circle all that apply.
in this case assumption is verified 0.388%
in this case assumption is not verified, 38%
we must find the exact solution using quadratic equation
to find the exact solution we don't need to use quadratic equation
