The first and second ionization constants of 
are 
and 
respectively. The concentration of 
in 
solution is 
. (Nearest Integer)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
100
(100)
For a weak diprotic acid 
, the ionization steps are:
with 
with 
Since 
, the concentration of 
is primarily determined by the first ionization.
Also, from the first ionization, 
For the second ionization:
Substituting the values: 
Thus, 
To express this in the form 
:
The value is 100 .
