Question
Answer the following question:
Why is $\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}<<\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}$ for $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ in water?
Why is $\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}<<\text{K}_{\text{a}_1}$ for $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ in water?
✓
Answer
$\text{K}_{\text{a}_2}<<\text{K}_{\text{a}_1},$ because $\text{HSO}_{4}-$ ion has much less tendency to donate a proton to $H_2O$ as compared to $H_2SO_4.$
