Solution :
The dissociation of diprotic acid (H2A) can be written as,
H2A + H2O ===> H3O+ + HA-
Ka1 = 3.4 x 10^-4
HA- + H2O ===> H3O+ + A^2-
Ka2 = 6.7 x 10^-9
Since, ka2 is very less than ka1,.hence pH of the acid is only depends upon first dissociation.
H2A + H2O ===> H3O+ + HA-
0.36 M ---------------- 0 --------------0 (initial)
0.36 -X ---------------- X ------------- X (final)
Therefore,
Ka1 = [H3O+] [HA-] / [H2A]
3.4 x 10^-4 = X . X / (0.36 - X)
3.4 x 10^-4 = X^2 / (0.36 -X)
Again, since ka1 is very less, hence it is a weak acid, therefore, X can be neglected from denominator.
Thus,
3.4 x 10^-4 = X^2 / 0.36
X^2 = 1.224 x 10^-4
X = 1.106 x 10^-2
Thus,
[H3O+] = X = 1.106 x 10^-2 M
pH = - log [H+] = - log [H3O+]
pH = - log 1.106 x 10^-2
pH = 2 - log 1.106 = 2 - 0.04 = 1.96
Hence,
pH = 1.96
