Ph calculations 2

I’m stuck on another question again

Calculate the ph of the solution formed when 3.5 g of impure NaOH (98.7 purity) is dissolved in water and is made up to 100cm3 and then 25cm3 of 0.35 mol dm3 of diprotic acid is added

I calculated the moles of the diprotic acid and NaOH but I don’t know what to do after
What would represent the diprotic acid

Are you on AQA by any chance?

You could represent the diprotic acid as H2X

Then your equation becomes:

2NaOH + H2X ==> Na2X + 2H2O

So that 2 mol of sodium hydroxide reacts with 1 mol of acid.
