Question

Oxalic acid is a diprotic acid that occurs naturally in some plants. Calculate the pH and the concentrations of all species present in a 0.96 M solution. The acid dissociation constants are K1 = 5.9 ✕ 10−2 and K2 = 6.4 ✕ 10−5.

[C2O4H2]  =   M
[HC2O4]  =   M
[C2O42−]  =  6.4e-5  M
[H+]  =   M
pH  =   M
