My sources give pKa2 as 1.99.
as I said: same ballpark, and doesn't make that big a difference for our discussion
my sources (sulfuric acid = "Schwefelsäure" : pK
a2 = "pK
S2" )
I tend to disagree. (...)
again, I don't see that there's a real disagreement here: of cause you're right with what you wrote
question is what teoporta by
"..and how to fix such pH value."
would mean, and what we'll accept to be a buffer
basically, what you say is that at such pH-values a solution usually shouldn't need an additional pH -fixing at all, as it is already quite stable all by itself (due to the high H
+ concentrations involved here, and due to the logarithmic nature of the pH ): and you're right
all I'm saying is that if, for whatever reason , teoporta wishes to have it more stable still (even at such a low pH) , only these substances would offer additional stability
I can't find the contradiction here
