HPO42- is the most abundant phosphate present at pH=7.5, but H2PO42- is also there in (less) significant amounts. PO43- and H3PO4 are practically absent at pH 7.5.

This is because it is between the values

  • pH=pKa,3= 12.4 (at which value there is 50% HPO42- and 50% PO43-)

    and

  • pH=pKa,2= 7.2 (at which value there is 50% HPO42- + 50% H2PO42-)

What is the Ph level of H3PO4?

That depends entirely on the concentration of H3PO4 dissolved in the solvent. It can have many different values of pH ranging from below zero at high concentration to near 7 at very low concentration.


Phosphoric acid H3PO4 has three dissociable protons with pkas 2.14 and 6.86 and 12.4 which form of the acid predominates in a solution of pH 4?

pH = 4 is about in the middle (4.7) of the values pH=pKa,1 and pH=pKa,2.This is an indication of H2PO4- abundantly being present, becauseat pH=2.14 it is halfway forming its conjugate acid H3PO4 andat pH=7.21 it is halfway forming its conjugate base HPO42-

What does a bladderwort plant ooze to dissolve bugs?

Digestive enzymes are the oozings that bladderwort plants use to dissolve bugs. The carnivorous plants in question (Utricaria spp) employ aminopeptidase and phosphatase in higher or lower levels with higher or lower pH readings according to ecosystems and to species. For example, trap fluid pH may range from an acidic 4.1 to an alkaline 7.3, and phosphatase tends to predominate among European species.


What is the pH of the compound H3PO4?

The pH of any substance depends upon its concentration in the solution. But in general orthophosohoric acid is a weak acid and hence has higher pH than acids like Nitric acid, sulphuric acid at the same temp. and concentration.

What is the ka of the first ionization of h3po4 if you initially had 0.58 m of phosphoric acid and your pH at equilibrium is 3?

[H+] = 10 raised to the -pH, or 10 raised to -3, which equals .001. Then Ka = [H+] squared / Molarity of the solution, which equals 1.72 E(-6).
