In a diprotic acid solution, H3O+ comes mainly from the:
Afirst dissociation step
Bsecond dissociation step
Csalt formed on mixing
Dautoionization of water
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. first dissociation step
Ka1 is much larger than Ka2, so the first step supplies nearly all the hydronium ions.
