(1) H2CO3 + H2O --> HCO3- + H3O+ [Ka = 4.5E-7]  

(2) HCO3- + H2O --> CO32- + H3O+ [Ka = 4.7E-11]  

Observe that the two Ka values differ from each other drastically. This will mean that in terms of pH, ONLY THE FIRST IONIZATION WILL AFFECT pH.  

(1) H2CO3 + H2O --> HCO3- + H3O+ [Ka = 4.5E-7]  

I.....0.165M..................0..........  

C......-x......................+x........  

E....0.165-x.................x...........  

4.5E-7 = x^2/(0.165-x) <-- use the appoximation rule because Ka is very small  

2.72E-4 = x  

Thus, from equation (1), we see that the [H3O+] = 2.72E-4M, [H2CO3] = 0.165M, and [HCO3-]= 2.72E-4M. Note that THIS step will determine the pH of the polyprotic acid  

To calculate the last species, just transfer these values the next equation  

(2) HCO3- + H2O --> CO32- + H3O+ [Ka = 4.7E-11]  

I....2.72E-4..................0..........  

C  

E  

4.7E-11 = (x*2.72E-4)/2.72E-4  

4.7E-11 = x = [CO32-]  

To calculate the OH- from H3O+, just find the pH of H3O+, subtract it from 14 to find the pOH, and find the [OH-] from that.

Which species acts exclusively as spectator ions in this reaction
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

K^+ and NO3^-

Explanation:

In a balanced ionic equation, we usually see the species that react to yield the main product in the reaction.

Consider the reaction;

Pb(NO3)2(aq) +2 KI(aq) -------> PbI2(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

The main product in this reaction is PbI2. Hence the balanced ionic equation is;

Pb^2+(aq) + 2I^-(aq) ------> PbI2(s)

Notice that K^+ and NO3^- did not participate in this reaction. All ions that are part of the molecular equation but do not participate in the ionic reaction equation are called spectator ions. Hence K^+ and NO3^- are spectator ions in this reaction as can be seen clearly above.
