Polyprotic Acid Base Equilibria Problems, pH Calculations Given Ka1, Ka2 & Ka3 - Ice Tables

This acid base equilibrium video tutorial explains how to calculate the pH of a polyprotic acid using ice tables and number lines. It discusses how to calculate the pH of a diprotic acid like H2SO4. It explains what to do when given a concentrated sulfuric acid compared to a dilute solution. In addition, it mentions how to calculate the pH of a triprotic acid like H3PO4 and how to calculate the equilibrium concentrations of H3PO4, H2PO4-, HPO4 2-, and PO4 3- given Ka1, Ka2, and Ka3. In addition, it explains how to calculate the pH of a solution that consist of a mixture of H2PO4- and HPO4 2- which is basically a buffer solution and how to calculate the pH when one of those species predominate using a simple formula. This acids and bases chemistry video contains plenty of examples and practice problems.

    @15:45 The reason the answer is not exact enough (for chem classes) is because the calculated conc / initial conc > 5%. So 0.1225/2 ≈ 6% and is considered significant enough to force the need for an exact calculation. Im sure someone has pointed this out already among the huge amounts of comments, but I just wanted to make double sure.

    If u make an ice table for the second dissosiation u will see that the H+ contribution is a couple orders of magnitude smaller so its contribution to ph is insignificant, in fact the H+ given by H2PO4 is the same as H2PO4's concentration and you can see 6x10^-8 is waaaaay smaller than 0.118 so u simply disestimate it. I doubt this answer will be of any use to you right now but it may help ppl with the same query.

    Late reply, but I wondered the same: pH = -log[H3O+] which is 0 when [H3O+] = 1. Any larger [H3O+] than 1 is going to produce pH less than 0. It's perfectly legit, pOH will be greater than 14,00 (=pKw) and OH-ions wil thus be very rare in the solution). Remember that pH is a logarithmic number and unlike in case of a concentration, negative values are just as legit as positive ones.
