Explanation / Answer

alpha[Y4-] = K1K2K3K4K5K6/([H+]^6+K1[H+]5+K1K2[H+]^4+K1K2K3[H+]^3+K1K2K3K4[H+]^2+K1K2K3K4K5[H+]+K1K2K3K4K5K6

a) pH = 3/05

[H+] = 8.91 x 10^-4 M

Feed values we get,

alpha [Y4-] = 2.70 x 10^-11

b) pH = 10.95

[H+] = 1.122 x 10^-11 M

Feed values we get,

alpha[Y4-] = 0.79156
