Question

Calculate [H+], [H2PO4], [HPO24] and [PO34] in a 0.01M solution of H3PO4.
Take K1=7.225×103, K2=6.8×108, K3=4.5×1013.

A
[H+]=[H2PO4]=2.8×103, [HPO24]=3.4×108, [PO34]=2.7×1018

Solution

The correct option is C [H+]=[H2PO4]=5.6×103, [HPO24]=6.8×108, [PO34]=5.4×1018
(i) H3PO4H++H2PO4; K1=7.225×103
0.01M C (1α) Cα1 Cα1
(ii) H2PO4HPO24+H+ K2=6.8×108
Cα(1α2) Cα1α2 [Cα1]
(iii) HPO24PO43+H+ K3=6.8×108
α1α2C1(1α3) C(α1α2α2)[Cα1]
7.225×103=Cα21(1α1)=0.01×α211α
R×N. (i)
(1α)×0.7225=α21
α21+0.7225α0.7225=0
α1=0.562
[H+]=0.01×0.562 [H+=5.6×103
[H2PO4]5.6×103 R×N. (ii)
6.8×108=[HPO24][H+][H2PO4] from (i) reaction.
[HPO24=6.8×108M R×N (iii)
4.5×1013=[PO34][H+][HPO24]
4.5×1013×6.8×1055.6×103=[PO34]
5.464×1018=[PO34]
