Question

The following equilibrium constants have been dtermined for oxalic acid at 25°C:

H2C2O4 (aq) = H+ (aq) + HC2O4- (aq)                           K1= 6.5 x 10-2

H+ (aq) + C2O42- (aq) = HC2O4- (aq)                            K2= 1.6 x 104

Calculate the equilibrium constant for the following reaction at the same temperature:

H2C2O4 (aq) = 2H+ (aq) + C2O42- (aq)                          Kc= ?
