Expert Solution
Step 1

Dissociation reactions of oxalic acid is given below,

Н.С,О, + Н,о
НС,О, + Н,о"
K,
— 6.5х10-2
al
С,о +Н,о"
6.1x10-5
НС,О, + Н,О
K, =
Here,
[нC о: [н,о"]

Step 2

ICE table is constructed for the first dissociation as follows,

Н.О (ад

K, can be given as:
(x -X)
Kal
(0.301 – x)
х?
6.5x10-2
(0.301– x
Solving for x,
X = 0.111
[H,C,0,]=(0.301– x) = 0.19 M
Equilibrium concentration of H,C,0, is 0.19 M
[H,0*]=[HC,0;]= 0.111 M
= Concentration after 1* dissociation
