The two equilibria, HX ⇌ H+ + X- and HX + X- ⇌ HX2- are simultaneously maintained in a solution with equilibrium constants K1 and K2, respectively. The ratio of H+ to HX2- in the solution is

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

[H+] = K1[HX]/[X-] and [HX2-] = K2[HX][X-] [H+]/[HX2-] = K1/(K2[X-]2)

The ratio varies as 1/[X-]2

This is option (a).
