Answer:

A. [H₃O⁺] = 0.900 M

B. pH = 0.0 to one decimal place

C. [H₃O⁺] = 0.620 M

D. pH = 0.21 to two decimal places

Explanation:

A. Equation for the complete dissociation of H₃PO₄ is given below:

H₃PO₄(s) + 3H₂O(l) -----> PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3H₃O⁺(aq)

From the equation of reaction, one mole of H₃PO₄ produces 3 moles of H₃O⁺

Therefore, [H₃O⁺] = 3 * 0.300M = 0.900 M

B. pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

pH = - log(0.900)

pH = -log (9 * 10⁻¹)

pH = 0.0 to one decimal place

C. Equation for the complete dissociation of H₂C₂O₄ is given below:

H₂C₂O₄(s) + 2H₂O(l) ----> C₂O₄⁻(aq) + 2H₃O⁺

From the equation of reaction, one mole of H₂C₂O₄ produces 3 moles of H₃O⁺

Therefore, [H₃O⁺] = 2 * 0.310 M = 0.620 M

D. pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

pH = -log(0.620)

pH = -log(0.62 * 10⁻¹)

pH = 0.21 to two decimal places

The concentration of [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]] has been 0.9 M, and the pH has been 0.045.

The polyprotic acid has been able to donate more than one proton in an acid-base reaction.

The balanced chemical reaction can be:

[tex]\rm H_3PO_4\;+\;3\;H_2O\;\rightarrow\;PO_4^3^-\;+\;3\;H_3O^+[/tex]

(a) According to the equation, 1 mole of [tex]\rm H_3PO_4[/tex] gives 3 moles of hydronium ions. The molarity has been defined as moles per liter. Assuming the volume of reaction to be 1 liter.

1 mole [tex]\rm H_3PO_4[/tex] = 1 M [tex]\rm H_3PO_4[/tex]

1 mole [tex]\rm H_3PO_4[/tex] = 3 moles [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]]

0.3 mole [tex]\rm H_3PO_4[/tex] = 3 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.3 moles [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]].

0.3 mole [tex]\rm H_3PO_4[/tex] = 0.9 moles [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]]

The concentration of [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]] has been 0.9 mole/L, or 0.9 M.

(b) pH of the solution can be defined as:

pH = -log [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]]

pH = -log (0.9)

pH = 0.045

The pH of the solution has been 0.045.

(c) The polyprotic acid have the balanced equation:

[tex]\rm H_2C_2O_4\;+\;2\;H_2O\;\rightarrow\;C_2O_4^-\;+\;2\;H_3O^+[/tex]

According to the equation, 1 M [tex]\rm H_2C_2O_4[/tex] gives 2 M [tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex].

The concentration of hydronium ions from 0.310 M [tex]\rm H_2C_2O_4[/tex] has been:

1 M [tex]\rm H_2C_2O_4[/tex] = 3 M [tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]

0.310 M [tex]\rm H_2C_2O_4[/tex] =  2 [tex]\times[/tex] 0.310 moles [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]]

0.310 M [tex]\rm H_2C_2O_4[/tex] = 0.62 M  [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]].

The  [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]] concentration of the solution has been 0.62 M.

(d) pH of the solution can be defined as:

pH = -log  [[tex]\rm H_3O^+[/tex]]

pH = -log (0.62)

pH = 0.20

The pH of the solution has been 0.20.
