Why is phosphorus acid dibasic?
Corrected Answer:Three main members of the phophORUS acid group are: (protons are in bold capitals)H3PO4; Phosphoric acid, PO(OH)3, tribasic acid, contains P in oxidation state +5H3PO3; Phosphorous acid,HPO(OH)2, dibasic acid, contains P in oxidation state +3H3PO2; Hypophosphorous acid, H2PO(OH), monobasic acid, contains P in oxidation state +1There is only one diprotic: H3PO3.When more structurally written as (HO)2HPOyou can see why it is diprotic: only from a P-(O-H) group the H can be ionised as H+ and can be donated as proton to a water molecule (acidic property). The H-P=O is NOT ionisable, thus not acidic.
Is KH2PO4 an acid and K2HPO4 a neutral?
KH2PO4 is the acid, with a pH in the range of 4.4-4.7. K2HPO4 has a pH of 8.0.
Why H3PO3 is a dibasic acid?
becouse it doesn't produce more hydrogen ions
Is Nitric acid or Nitrous acid more acidic?
Nitric acid is more acidic, in general the oxy acid having high ratio of oxygen is more acidic.
Which is more acidic methanesulfonic acid or propanoic acid?
methanesulfonic acid

Which is more acidic methanesulfonic acid or propanoic acid?
methanesulfonic acid
Which is more acidic formic acid or benzoic acid?
Benzoic Acid
Which is more acidic hydrochloric acid or picric acid?
Hydrochoric acid is more acidic than Picric acid.Added: Ka(Picric acid) = 0.38, Ka(HCl) >>1
Which is more acidic sulphuric acid or nitric acid?
sulphuric acid of course.
What is more acidic lemon juice or stomach acid?
stomach acid
Which is more acidic butanoic acid or 3 methyl butanoic acid?
Butanoic acid is more acidic. Presence of electron donating methyl group (as in 3-methyl butanoic acid) will decrease the acidity.
What is more acidic lemon juice or acid rain?
Lemon Juice is more acidic.
Which is more acidic ortho-nitro benzoic acid or ortho-methoxy benzoic acid?
orho methoxy benzoic acid is more acidic due to stability achieved due to chelation effect.
