Solution

The correct option is B Phytin
Phosphorous is an essential macronutrient for plants. It is required for biosynthesis of nucleotides and nucleic acids and other energy transfer reactions. Phytin is a calcium magnesium salt of phytic acid, that occurs in plants as the main phosphorus storage reserve especially in seeds or tubers.

Identify Bronsted acids in the reaction : $H_{2} C O_{3} + H P O_{4}^{2 -} ⇌ H_{2} P O_{4}^{-} + H C O_{3}^{-}$

H_{3} P O_{4}, H_{3} P O_{4} ⇋ H_{2} P O_{4}^{-} + H^{+} (K_{1})

H_{2} P O_{4}^{-} ⇋ H P O_{4}^{2 -} + H^{+} (K_{2})

H P O_{4}^{2 -} ⇋ P O_{4}^{3 -} + H^{+} (K_{3})

\frac{[{H P O}_{4}^{2 -}]}{[H_{2} {P O}_{4}^{-}]}

{p K}_{a} (H_{2} {P O}_{4}^{-}) = 7.1
