Question

H3PO4 is another polyprotic acid with three acidic hydrogens.  Write a complete balanced equation for the three-step neutralization reaction between H3PO4 and NaOH. 

Net reaction: 

3NaOH + H3PO4 === Na3PO4 + 3H2O

 

1. H3PO4 + NaOH → NaH2PO4 + H2O

2. H3PO4 + 2 NaOH → Na2HPO4 + 2 H2O

3. H3PO4 + 3 NaOH → Na3PO4 + 3 H2O

 

 

  1. Sketch an approximate graph of pH vs. volume on the following page, explaining why you choose to draw it this way.
