Using a pH number line or a potentiometric curve, dtermine the predominant specie/s at pH 4.5 and 10.5. Look up pKa3 of phosphoric acid in the literature

Expert Solution

So the standard equation for Phosphoric acid are as below given in the literature.

H3PO4(s) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + H2PO4(aq), Ka1 = 7.5×10−3

H2PO4(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + HPO2 4(aq),   Ka2 = 6.2×10−8

HPO2−4(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ H3O+(aq) + PO3−4(aq)        Ka3 = 2.2×10−13

Based on above equations pKa1 = 2.12, pKa2 = 7.21, and pKa3 = 12.67

Now the question, predominant species at pH 4.5 will be H2PO4(-) Dihydrogen phosphate anion, as it does not dissociate at this high acidic condition. .

and at pH 10.5, which is high basic condition, the predominant species will be HPO4(2-) Hydrogen Phoshphate anion

Hope this helps. Thanks
