Transcript

00:01 This question is in reference to a polyprotic system. 00:04 In a polyprotic system, we'll start out with a tri -protic acid. 00:09 We're going to have each hydrogen come off one at a time according to their k -a values. 00:16 Each time we will make one mole of hydronium and one mole of the conjugate base. 00:26 And the first hydrogen that comes off corresponds to its k -a -1 value. 00:31 Then usually the second hydrogen does not come off until pretty much all of the first hydrogen has come off...
