Question

Find the parent acid and parent base for Ba3(PO4)2. Also find if the parent acid is weak or strong as well as the parent base. Next determine the type of salt, (acidic, basic, or neutral).

Answer 1

Parent acid is H3po4(phosphoric acid)

Parent base is Ba(oH)2(barium hydroxide)

Parent acid is a weak acid where as parent base is strong base comparitively.

Weak acid and strong base give rise to basic salt.

Hence,Ba3(po4)2 is a basic salt.

Equation:

Ba(oH)2 +H3po4 gives rise to Ba3(po4)2+H2o
