In finding pH of H2SO4 do we have to add the H+ produced by H2SO4 to alpha when subtituting Ka ?

Is this a common ion effect? Can we add that H+ produced when substituting its concentration in pH equation?

you have to use Ka and Ka2 to get the correct pH. Write out the acid disassociation equations and it will start looking a little less intimidating. if you still don't get it don't hesitate to ask your teacher for help
