Chapter 18.5, Problem 18.9AFP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Given the concentration of the solution, the equilibrium values of [H2C2O4] , [HC2O4-] , [C2O42-] and also the pH has to be found out.

Concept Introduction: The pH scale will range from 1-14. pH is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration. If pH is greater than 7 then the solution is basic, less than 7 then the solution is acidic and if it is equal to 7 the solution will be neutral. pH and pOH are related by the equation:

pH + pOH =14

Oxalic acid is a weak acid, so it will not dissociate completely and since it is polyprotic in nature dissociation will take place in two steps. Therefore, oxalic acid has two Ka (acid dissociation constant) values
