**Acid-Dissociation Constants at 25°C**

The table below lists various acids, their chemical formulas, and their dissociation constants (Ka₁, Ka₂, Ka₃) at 25°C. These constants are a measure of the strength of the acids in water, with lower values indicating weaker acids.

| Acid               | Formula   | Ka₁         | Ka₂         | Ka₃         |

Expert Solution
Step 1

Concept based on the finding out the pH of the solution formed by the salt hydrolysis of Na3PO4.

From the given data, we can able to find out the pH of the given solution as it is a salt of strong base and weak acid.

After salt hydrolysis, the solution might be basic because one of the component is a strong base.
