Solution

The correct option is C 40 mL
Given
20 ml of 0.1 M Phosphoric acid
0.1 M of KOH
Solution
Neutralization reaction will be
H3PO3+2KOHK2HPO3+2H2O
Phosphoric acid is a diprotic acid therefore it will only give 2 H+ ions
Therefore i mole of phosphoric acid will neutralize 2 moles of KOH
No. of moles of phospjoric acid
0.1*20*1/1000=0.002mol
No. of moles neutralized of KOH=2*0.002 moles=0.004moles
Molarity of KOH solution is 0.1
Volume of KOH solution will be 0.004/0.1=0.04L=40ml
The correct option is C
