Question

What is the concentration of each species present in a 0.010-M solution of phthalic acid, C6H4(CO2H)2?

C6H4(CO2H)2(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + C6H4(CO2H)(CO2)-(aq)                 

 Ka1 = 1.1 x 10-3

C6H4(CO2H)(CO2)(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + C6H4(CO2)22-(aq)               

  Ka2 = 3.9 x 10-6
