answer : e) 2.37

NaO2CCO2H <-----------------------> NaO2CCO2- + H+

0.34                                                             0                  0

0.34 - x                                                         x                   x

Ka2 = x^2 /0.34 - x

5.42 x 10^-5 = x^2 /0.34 - x

x = [H+] = 4.30 x 10^-3 M

pH = -log [H+] = -log (4.30 x 10^-3)

pH = 2.37
