Question

In the neutralization process of h3po4 and naoh the number of buffers formed will be

Answer 1

Three buffer solutions can be formed during the neutralization process of NaOH and H₃PO₄.

• Phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) has three replacable H⁺ ions.
• These H⁺ ions are replaced by Na⁺ ions in three different steps owing to the three different pKₐ values of H₃PO₄.
• Hence, at each step a different buffer solution will be formed.
• Therefore, three different buffer solutions can be formed in the given reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Explanation:

H3PO4 has 3 replaceable H+ ions which are released after each dissociation.

So, 3 buffer solutions are formed in these 3 steps.
