Expert Solution
Step 1

H2Te is a diprotic acid with Ka1 = 2.3*10-3 and Ka2 = 1.6*10-11 

The dissociation equations are:

H2Te(aq)  HTe-(aq) + H+(aq) ; pKa1 = -log(Ka1) = - log(2.3*10-3) = 2.64

HTe-(aq) Te2-(aq) + H+(aq) ; pKa2 = -log(Ka2) = - log(1.6*10-11) = 10.8 

potassium hydroxide, KOH is a monoacidic base.
