Ka1,Ka2 and Ka3 are the respective ionization constants for the following reactions a,b and c.

(a) H2C2O4H++HC2O4-

(b) HC2O4-H++HC2O42-

(c) H2C2O42H++C2O42-

The relationship between Ka1, Ka2 and Ka3 is given as

  1. Ka3=Ka1+Ka2
  2. Ka3=Ka1Ka2
  3. Ka3=Ka1-Ka2
  4. Ka3=Ka1×Ka2

Solution

H2C2O4H++HC2O4-Ka1

H2C2O4-H++C2O42-Ka2

H2C2O42H++C2O42-   Ka3

On adding equation 1 and equation 2 we get equation 3. So, Ka3=Ka1×Ka2.
