Which acid can donate more than one proton:
P - concentration 0.01 - pH 2
Q - conc 0.05 - pH 1
R - conc 0.1 - pH 1
S - conc 0.1 - pH 2

have no idea how to approach it??

calculate the pH for each concentration as if the acid were strong and monoprotic. the one with a more acidic pH than what you calculated must be able to donate more than one
