A student adds 0.1 mol of oxalic acid and 0.1 mol of sodium dihydrogen phosphate to enough water to make 1.0 L of solution. The following equilibrium is established with the concentrations of the products greater than the concentrations of the reactants. Which of the statements about the equilibrium system is correct?

H2C2O4(aq) + H2PO4-(aq) HC2O4-(aq) + H3PO4(aq)

A) Oxalic acid is a weaker acid than phosphoric acid.

B) The hydrogen oxalate anion, HC2O4-, is a stronger base than the dihydrogen phosphate anion, H2PO4- .

C) Phosphoric acid is a weaker acid than oxalic acid.

D) The dihydrogen phosphate anion, H2PO4-, is a stronger acid than oxalic acid.

E) Water is a stronger acid than either oxalic or phosphoric acids.

can someone give me explanations why EACH one isn't or is the right answer. I'm studying for a test but want to understand the concept. the answer is C

Sulfur dioxide and oxygen react to form sulfur trioxide during one of the key steps in sulfuric acid synthesis. an industrial chemist studying this reaction fills a 25.0l tank with 4.5 mol of sulfur dioxide gas and 4.5 mol of oxygen gas at 30.°c. he then raises the temperature, and when the mixture has come to equilibrium measures the amount of sulfur trioxide gas to be 1.4 mol. calculate the concentration equilibrium constant for the reaction of sulfur dioxide and oxygen at the final temperature of the mixture. round your answer to 2 significant digits.
