Concept explainers
Interpretation:
All the species present in the phosphoric acid solution are to be listed, and categorized into acids or bases, or both.
Concept introduction:
According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, a substance that has the capability to donate a proton, acts as an acid. The acid is known as a Bronsted Acid.
A Bronsted base is a substance that accepts a proton and forms its conjugate acid.
The first ionization of the triprotic acid takes place as:
