The complete dissociation of diprotic acids is of the same form as sulfuric acid: H2SO4 → H+(aq) + HSO4−(aq) Ka = 1 × 103 HSO4− → H+(aq) + SO42−(aq) Ka = 1 × 10−2The dissociation does not happen all at once due to the two stages of dissociation having different Ka values. The first dissociation will, in the case of sulfuric acid, occur completely, but the second one will not. Diprotic acids are of particular note in regard to titration experiments, where a pH versus titrant volume curve will clearly show two equivalence points for the acid. This occurs because the two ionization capable hydrogen atoms on the acid molecule do not leave the acid at the same time.Common diprotic acids include malic acid, found in apples and cherries, and tartaric acid, found in grapes and pineapples. Another diprotic acid is uric acid, which has a pKa1 of 5.4 and a pKa2 of 10.3, and is therefore singly charged at physiological pH."@en }
