Question
Chapter 18, Problem 54E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The following phenomenon should be explained.
“Phosphoric acid is a triprotic acid, phosphorus acid is diprotic acid and hypophosphorus acid is a monoprotic acid.”
Concept Introduction:
A substance which has ability to donate or produce hydrogen ions or protons in aqueous solution is known as acid.
Proticity of an acid depends upon the number of hydrogen ions or protons that can be donated.
