Consider a diprotic acid with pKa values of 1.60 and 4.50, that is colorless when fully protonated, deep blue when singly deprotonated, and bright red when doubly deprotonated. Assuming that both colored forms have large and approximately equal molar absorptivities, what can be inferred from a solution of the compound that has a faint blue color?

"Calcium ions/oxalic acid equilibrium in the kidney" Base on the above statement, give an equilibrium related to that and answer the following questions: What is the K value of the equilibrium if it is available. Base on Le Chatelier's principle, when will that equilibrium will not meet and what negative effects will happen when the equilibrium is not met. Suggest the preventive measures that can be taken to avoid negative effects whem the equilbrium is not met.
