Calculating Equilibrium Concentrations of Polyprotic Acids

Equation for finding the fractional dissociation of HA-

Equation for finding the fractional dissociation of HA-

The above concentration can be used if pH is known, as well as the two acid dissociation constants for each dissociation step; oftentimes, calculations can be simplified for polyprotic acids, however.
