False, because prokaryotes do not have a nucleus.
Given:
Diprotic weak acid H2A:
Ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6
Ka2 = 6.1 x 10^-9.
Concentration = 0.0650 m
Balanced chemical equation:
H2A ===> 2H+ + A2-
0.0650 0 0
-x 2x x
------------------------------
0.065 - x 2x x
ka1 = 3.2 x 10^-6 = [2x]^2 * [x] / (0.065 - x)
solve for x and determine the concentration at equilibrium.
Easy peasy! All we need to do is plug this formula into our calculator:
-log(M)
So, we'd plug in -log(.2), which is 0.7 :)
