Question

Given the dissociation constants for each deprotonation, what is the dissociation constant for the overall reaction (Ka’’)?

H3PO4 + H2O  H2PO4- + H3O                    Ka = 7.11 x 10-3

H2PO4- + H2O  HPO42- + H3O+                           Ka’ = 6.32 x 10-8

Overall: H3PO4 + 2 H2O  HPO42- + 2 H3O+              Ka’’ = ?
