H2 A <===> H+ + HA-
m ...... Ka1 ....m x ....m x

As dissociation is too small we can say

ka = m*x^2, as 1 - x = 1 approximately..
[ H+] = m * x.. x = Dissociation constant.

HA- <====> H+ + A^-2
m*x ... Ka2. ...m*x*y....m x y

Ka2 = m*x*y^2. Ka2 is very small compared to Ka1. So y is very small.

From this equation, now [ H+ ] = m*x*y.

total [ H+] = m*x*(1+y) = m x as y <<1.
[ H+ ] = 0.193* sqrt(4.44×10^-4) M
= 0.004066 M

pH = - Log [ H+] = 2.39 approximately.
