We calculated the pKas and then I realised I hadn't a goddamn clue how I was going to resolve the rest of the problem and pulled an "I'm going to get back to you on this one."

You won't be surprised to hear we answered the same question for pHs that correspond with pKa2 and pKa3 as well. The results demonstrate an increase in basicity favours deprotonated forms over protonated forms of a compound. Surprise!
