Answer #1

Answer

pH = 2.80

Explanation

Dissociation of diprotic acid is as follows

H2A <------> HA- + H+ pKa1 = 2.80

HA- <-------> A2- + H+ pKa2 = 6.50

at half neutralization

H2A = HA-

Henderson - Hasselbalch equation is

pH = pKa + log([HA-]/[H2A])

pH = 2.80 + log1

pH = 2.80

Therefore

at quarter neutralization point , pH = 2.80
