Calculate the pH of a 0.0036 M solution of oxalic acid that is 0.50% ionized
Added by Mark G.
Step 1
Given that oxalic acid is 0.50% ionized, the alpha value is 0.005 (0.50% = 0.005). Calculate the concentration of H+ ions using the formula: [H+] = sqrt(Ka * C * alpha), where Ka is the acid dissociation constant for oxalic acid (9.2 x 10^-2) and C is the Show more…
