Please help... please don't answerif you don't know how to solve this problem. I need step by stepanswer as the problem asks. I don't know where to start I neversolved those kinds of problems. Thanks a lot I appreciate yourhelp...

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) behaves like anacid in water. It has a Ka value equal to 1.778x10-12. When sold in stores, solutions ofH2O2are often 3.00%H2O2 by mass. The solutions also contain asmall amount of phosphoric acid (0.001% by mass) which stabilizesthe solution as hydrogen peroxide easily decomposes. Since bothhydrogen peroxide and phosphoric acid behave like acids in water,both acids will contribute H+ ions to the solution. TheKa for phosphoric acid is equal to 7.2 x10-3. Which acid contributes a larger concentration ofH3O+ions into the solution if you assume 1.00L (HINT: assume the density of the solution is 1.000 g/ml). The twoequations that you will need are given below:

H2O2 (aq) + H2O (l) H3O+1(aq) +HO2-1(aq)

H3PO4 (aq) + H2O(l) H3O+1(aq) + H2PO4-1(aq)
