Calculate the concentrations of H2SO3, HSO−3, SO2−3, H3O+ and OH− in 0.020 M H2SO3. [H2SO3], [HSO-3],[SO2-3],[H3O+],[OH-] = ? Express your answer using two significant figures.
H2SO3 :
Ka1 = 1.4×10–2
Ka2 = 6.3×10–8
H2SO3 ------------------> H+ + HSO3-
0.020 0 0
0.020 - x x x
Ka1 = x^2 / 0.02 - x
1.4 x 10^-2 = x^2 / 0.02 - x
x = 0.011
[H3O+] = 0.011 M
[HSO3-] = 0.011 M
[OH-] = 9.1 x 10^-13 M
[SO32-] = 6.3 x 10^-8 M
[H2SO3] = 0.0090 M
