Select all statements that are true.

For polyprotic acids, Ka1 is always the largest Ka out of all of the ionization steps.

A 0.1 M solution of strong acid (HA) will have a lower pH than a 0.1 M solution of a weak diprotic acid (H2A).

All polyprotic acids ionize in a stepwise manner.

In aqueous solution, diprotic acids always have a higher concentration of H3O+ than monoprotic acids.

The total moles of H3O+ formed in an aqueous solution of polyprotic acid is equal to the sum of the moles H3O+ produced in each step.

The last step in the stepwise ionization of a polyprotic acid always goes to completion (i.e., 100% ionization).

Sulfuric acid is a strong acid. Therefore, it does not ionize in steps.

In aqueous solution, triprotic acids always have a higher concentration of H3O+ than diprotic acids.
