The first dissociation of the acid into hydrogen oxalate is completely sufficient to calculate pH from: the second step makes very little hydronium to worry about (to the usual 2 to 3 numbers after the decimal place in the pH)
how do you find the pH of a weak polyprotic acid (oxalic acid)?!? or the pH of OOCCOO2-? because doesn't it have to get protonated twice to become oxalic acid again?
really a good teacher......ure lecture really helped for my Practical exam..... thank u sir.

I think you mean it better not be less than 7, lol.

pH of less than 7 is acidic.
