Summary of diprotic acid calculations
• A diprotic acid H2A exists as H2A, HA- and A2- in solution and thus acid may be prepared with any of the above substance.
• Case 1: The acid solution is prepared with H2A.
• Case 2: The acid solution is prepared with HA-.
• Case 3: The solution is prepared with A2-.
10-2 Diprotic buffers
• It acts in the same way as a buffer prepared from a monoprotic acid, except here we have two pairs of acid and conjugate base, i.e. H2A/HA- and HA-/A2-.
• Depending on the starting material, one can use one of the following two equations to calculate pH of the buffer solution

Diprotic buffer calculation• 10-12: How many milliliters of 0.202 M NaOH should be added to
25.0 ml of 0.0233 M salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid) to adjust the pH to 3.50?
• Solution: From Appendix G, pK1= 2.972; pK2 = 13.7 the addition of strong base produced equivalent number of moles of
HA-. OH- + H2A ↔ HA- + H2O
Assuming x ml of NaOH is required; [HA-] = x*0.202/(0.025+ x) [H2A] = (0.0233*0.025 – x*0.202)/(0.025+x) 3.5 = 2.972 + log([HA-]/[H2A])

10-3 Polyprotic acids and bases• The treatment of ployprotic acids (HnA) is the same as
diprotic acid.• Treating HnA as a monoprotic acid and An- as
monobasic.• Other intermediates can be dealt with the following
equations for the calculation of pH.• For Hn-1A-
• For Hn-2A2-
Example of polyprotic acid calculation
• Problem 10-17: (a) calculate the quotient [H3PO4]/[H2PO4-] in
0.0500 M KH2PO4. (b) find the same quotient for 0.0500 M K2HPO4.
• Solution: From Appendix G, find pK1 = 2.148, pK2 = 7.198, and pK3 = 12.375.
H3PO4 ↔ H+ + H2PO4- (K1)
H2PO4- ↔ H+ + HPO4
2- (K2)
HPO42- ↔ H+ + PO4
3- (K3)
(a) using equation 10-13 to calculate [H+], in which F = 0.0500M. The calculation yields [H+] = 1.988 x 10-5 M.
then, employing the definition k1 = [H+][H2PO4-]/[H3PO4] to
calculate the ratio of [H3PO4]/[H2PO4-]
(b) is the same as (a), but uses equation 10-14.
10-4 Which is the principal species • For monoprotic acid: Following Henderson-Hasselbalch
equation pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]), when the pH > pKa, the basic species is the dominant one, whereas at pH < pKa, the acidic species is the dominant one.
• For polyprotic acid: the reasoning is the same as monoprotic acid, except here there are multiple pKa values to separate different dominant species.
Example of calculating pH and dominant species of polyprotic acid
• Problem 10-23: The diprotic acid H2A has pK1 = 4.00 and pK2 = 8.00. (a) At what pH is [H2A] = [HA-]? (b) at what pH is [HA-] = [A2-]? (c) Which is the principle species at pH 2.00: H2A, HA-, A2-? (d) Which is the principle species at pH = 6.00?
• Solution: (a) using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation, when [H2A] =
[HA-], pH = pKa1, i.e. pH = 4.00. (b) the same as (a), when [H2A] = [HA-], pH = pKa2, pH = 8.00.
(c) Since pH = 2.00 < pKa1, the H2A should be the dominant species.
(d) since pH > pKa1 & pH < pKa2, HA- is the dominant one.
10-5 Fractional composition equations
• In addition to estimating the dominant species based on pH, one can calculate the fraction of each species.
• The fraction of molecules in monoprotic acid
Fractional composition of Diprotic system
Example of calculating pH and dominant species of polyprotic acid
The Acidic Form, H2L+ - diprotic acid
Example: calculate the pH and composition of individual solutions of (a) 0.050 0 M H2L+, (b) 0.050 0 M HL, and (c) 0.050 0 ML−.
Leucine hydrochloride contains the protonated
species H2L+
HL is an even weaker acid, because K2 = 1.80 × 10−10.
10-6 Isoelectric and isoionic pH
• Isoionic pH is the pH of the pure, neutral, polyprotic acid.
• Isoelectric pH is the pH at which average charge of the polyorotic acid is 0.
• For a diprotic amino acid, the isoelectric pH is halfway between the two pKa values.
• For a diprotic amino acid, the isoionic pH is given by equation 10-22, where [H2A-] is not exactly equal to [A-]
