Question
What is the basicity of H3PO4?
Advertisements
Solution 1
H3PO4 has three ionisable hydrogen atoms. Hence, its basicity is 3.
Solution 2
\[\ce{H3PO4}\] -
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{O}\\
||\\
\ce{P}\\
/\phantom{...}|\phantom{...}\backslash\\
\ce{HO}\phantom{...}\ce{OH}\phantom{..}\ce{OH}
\end{array}\]
Since there are three OH groups present in H3PO4, its basicity is three i.e., it is a tribasic acid.
