$A$ certain amount of $H_2CO_3$ and $HCl$ are dissolved to form $1 \ L$ solution. At equilibrium,it is found that the concentrations of $H_2CO_3$ and $CO_3^{2-}$ are $0.1 \ M$ and $0.01 \ M$ respectively. Calculate the $pH$ of the solution. Given that for $H_2CO_3$,$K_{a_1} = 10^{-5}$ and $K_{a_2} = 10^{-8}$.
