Polyprotic vs monoprotic
What is the difference between calculating the pH of monoprotic and polyprotic acids and bases?

Re: Polyprotic vs monoprotic
I do not think there is a difference in the calculations, there would just be more reactions happening to the polyprotic acid such as H2SO4---the ka of polyprotic acids will decrease over each reaction (losing H+).
