Answer #1

------- H2C6H6O6(aq) + H2O(l) ------------> HC6H6O6^- (aq) + H3O^+ (aq)

I -------- 0.235 ------------------------------------    0 -----------------    0

C ------ -x ------------------------------------------- +x -----------------+x

E ----- 0.235-x --------------------------------- +x ----------------   +x

            Ka1    =   [HC6H6O6^-]{H3O^+]/[H2C6H6O6]

            7.9*10^-5   = x*x/(0.235-x)

           7.9*10^-5*(0.235-x) = x^2

              x   = 0.0043

        [HC6H6O6^-]   = x   = 0.0043M

        [H3O^+]   = x            = 0.0043M

       HC6H6O6^- (aq) + H2O(l) ---------------> C6H6O6^2- (aq) + H3O^+ (aq)

                    Ka2   = [C6H6O6^2-][H3O^+]/[HC6H6O6^-]

                    1.6*10^-12    = [C6H6O6^2-]*0.0043/0.0043

                   [C6H6O6^2-]   = 1.6*10^-12M>>>answer

              

                    PH = -log[H3O^+]

                         = -log0.0043

                          = 2.3665
