Detailed Solution

${ka}_{1} >> {ka}_{2} ∴ neglect {ka}_{2}$

$\begin{array}{l} {ka}_{1} = \frac{[H^{+}] [{HSO}_{3}^{-}]}{H_{2} {SO}_{3}} \Rightarrow \frac{x \cdot x}{0 .3 - x} = 3 \times 10^{- 3} 0 .3 - x ≃ 0 .3 \\ ∴ \frac{x^{2}}{0 .3} = 3 \times 10^{- 3} (or) 9 \times 10^{- 4} (or) x = 3 \times 10^{- 2} [H^{+}] = 3 \times 10^{- 2} \\ k_{w} = [H^{+}] [{OH}^{-}] ∴ [{OH}^{-}] = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{10^{- 14}}{10^{- 2}} = 0 .33 \times 10^{- 12} \end{array}$
