In a diprotic acid ionisation, as it gets added to water, why does the first equation have the acid in a liquid form?
But in the 2nd eqn it becomes aqueous after both electrons have been donated.

Errr... both should have it in aqueous form

Unless it is an acidic substance (in solid or gas form) being added to water

Liquid form is a way of denoting a highly concentrated acid with barely any water. Though this has nothing to do with your thread title.

But what are you asking? Once the first ionisation is done, it should become aqueous any way.
