K 1 and K 2 for oxalic acid are 6.5 × 1 0 2 - and 6.1 × 1 0 - 5 respectively. What will be [ H O - ] in a 0.01 M solution of sodium oxalate?
Options
- A9.6 × 1 0 - 6
- B1.4 × 1 0 - 1
- C1.28 × 1 0 - 6
- D1.3 × 1 0 - 8
Correct answer
C. 1.28 × 1 0 - 6
Step-by-step solution
The hydrolysis of C 2 O 4 2 - is represented by C 2 O 4 2 - + H 2 O ⇌ H C 2 O 4 - + O H - K h = K w K 2 = 1.0 × 1 0 - 14 6.1 × 1 0 - 5 = x 2 0.01 So x = 1.28 × 1 0 - 6
