1. Write the acid ionization equilibrium constant chemical reaction (i.e. the reactions showing the species as one H+ at a time is removed from the acid).
2. Using your actual pH curve and knowledge of titration, determine the Ka1 and Ka2 for this acid (Maleic acid).
3. Go to the AP book or look online and find the actual Ka1 and Ka2. Give two potential reasons why the experimental value were not the same as the actual values.
4. Explain what an amphoteric substance is and indicate which species from the chemical reactions in Question 1 is(are) amphoteric.
5. Calculate the pH of a 1.0M Maleic acid solution? Use actual values for acid ionization constants.
