Sulfuric acid, H2SO4, is somewhat unique in that it is a diprotic acid but it is also a strong acid. Thefirst dissociation of H2SO4 is as a strong acid, and is thus a complete dissociation. However, thesecond dissociation of H2SO4 is as a weak acid. Unlike with other polyprotic acids, you cannotneglect the second dissociation of H2SO4 because it will impact the pH of the solution.

Determine the pH and the concentrations of all aqueous species (H
