    pH calculation

    Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is diprotic though. H2CO3 <--> 2H(+) + CO3(2-). So shouldn't you double the [H+]? i.e. [H+] = 0.08 x 0.1 x 2

    pH calculation

    Calculate the pH of a 0.1 M soln of carbonic acid if only 8% ionises. I keep getting pH = 1.8 but the answer is pH = 2.1 (they didn't double the hydrogen ion concentration). Is the answer wrong or are you not meant to double the hydrogen ion concentration?
