Question

Explain the following:
(c) $H_{3} P O_{3}$ is not a tribasic acid.

Open in App

Solution

$H_{3} P O_{3}$ is not a tribasic acid because, in oxyacids of phosphorus, hydrogen atoms that are attached to oxygen atoms are replaceable. Hydrogen atoms directly bonded to phosphorus atoms are not replaceable. Therefore, this is a dibasic acid.
