Sulfurous acid, H2SO3, is a diprotic acid with Ka1 = 1.3 10-2 and Ka2 = 6.3

Question:

Sulfurous acid, H2SO3, is a diprotic acid with Ka1 = 1.3 × 10-2 and Ka2 = 6.3 × 10-8. The acid forms when sulfur dioxide (a gas with a suffocating odor) dissolves in water. What is the pH of a 0.25 M solution of sulfurous acid? What is the concentration of sulfite ion, SO32, in the solution? Note that Ka1 is relatively large.
