The stepwise acid dissociation constants for oxalic acid (H2Ox) are found to be 5.36 x 10–2 and 5.42 x 10–5. Derive the expressions for the alpha value, or fraction, of each species (H2Ox, HOx– and Ox2–) present in the solution. Calculate the alpha value of each species in a solution buffered to a pH of 4.50.
