![## H₂A Titration Curve (with Strong Base)
### Titration Curve Description
The image features a titration curve graph on the left side that depicts the titration of a diprotic acid (H₂A) with a strong base. The graph has:
- **Y-Axis:** Represents pH, ranging from 2 to 14.
- **X-Axis:** Represents the volume of titrant added, ranging from 0 to 35 mL.
Key points on the curve:
- **A:** Initial point at low pH.
- **B and D:** Buffer regions showing gradual pH increase.
- **C:** A steep rise indicating the first equivalence point, where the first proton is completely titrated.
- **E:** Another steep rise indicating the second equivalence point, where the second proton is fully titrated.
- **F:** Final point at high pH, with the curve leveling off.
### Henderson-Hasselbalch Equations
Displayed on the right are the Henderson-Hasselbalch equations:
1. \( \text{pH} = \text{pK}_1 + \log \left( \frac{[\text{HA}^-]}{[\text{H}_2\text{A}]} \right) \)
2. \( \text{pH} = \text{pK}_2 + \log \left( \frac{[\text{A}^{2-}]}{[\text{HA}^-]} \right) \)
Important notes:
- Both equations are **always true**.
- A solution has only one pH value at a given time.
- The choice of equation depends on known concentrations:
- Use the first equation when [H₂A] and [HA⁻] are known.
- Use the second equation when [HA⁻] and [A²⁻] are known.
This detailed explanation is intended to guide students in understanding the principles of acid-base titration and the application of the Henderson-Hasselbalch equations to calculate pH at different stages of the titration process.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F3129c971-f425-413a-93d6-6547672e04e6%2F1674b4e4-3b9f-449e-bd4a-2ace74600767%2Fxubpz2i_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
