In a driven reaction between 1 mole of NaOH and 1 mole of H₂C₃H₂O₄ identify the species of interest present in the solution as we add NaOH and state how to handle that solution to determine pH.

a. Before adding NaOH: H₂C₃H₂O₄ is the only thing present which will then undergo an equilibrium process and we can use an ice table to determine pH. Since it is a diprotic acid, we might need two ice tables.

b. After adding 0.5 mole of NaOH:

c. After adding 1.0 mole of NaOH:

d. After adding 1.5 mole of NaOH:

e. After adding 2.0 mole of NaOH:
