Question

Which form of the compound is not acidic ?

a)A^-2
b)HA^-1
c)H2A

A weak diprotic acid, H₂A ionizes progressively based on the following equilibrium:
H₂A
HA¹
One mole of the acid in aqueous solution is titrated progressively with a standard solution of a strong base [-OH]. The
change in pH as the base is added is monitored using a pH meter and the pH is noted. The data gathered is used to
construct the following titration curve.
