(a) pH = 2.00; [H2A] = 0.100 M; [HA-] = 1.00 x 10-4 M; [A2-] = 1.00 x 10-8 M
(b) pH = 4.00; [H2A] = 1.00 x 10-4 M; [HA-] = 0.100 M; [A2-] = 1.00 x 10-8 M
(c) pH = 6.00; [H2A] = 1.00 x 10-8 M; [HA-] = 1.00 x 10-4 M; [A2-] = 0.100 M
(b) pH = 4.00; [H2A] = 1.00 x 10-4 M; [HA-] = 0.100 M; [A2-] = 1.00 x 10-8 M
(c) pH = 6.00; [H2A] = 1.00 x 10-8 M; [HA-] = 1.00 x 10-4 M; [A2-] = 0.100 M
