Question

Write the formula and Lewis structure of ortho phosphoric acid.
Name the types of forces involved in it.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Phosphoric Acid is an acid-containing four atoms of oxygen, one atom of phosphorus, and three atoms of hydrogen. It is also known as phosphoric(V) acid or orthophosphoric acid. It is present in teeth and bone and helps in metabolic processes. In its liquid form, it appears as a clear, colourless solution and in its solid form, it appears as transparent, crystalline solid.

As a sequestering agent, it helps in the binding of divalent cations. It is widely used in orthodontics and dentistry. Phosphoric acid is important in biogeochemistry and biochemistry. It is tribasic acid. The three regions are the region where pH is equal to pK, the region where pH is equal to 4.7 and the region where pH is equal to 9.8.

Structure of Phosphoric Acid (H3PO

Answer 2

Answer:

Lewis structure of phosphoric acid contains -1 charge on one oxygen atom and +1 charge on phosphorous atom. There are three single bonds in the molecule. There are no charges at any atom. One hydrogen atom is joint to phosphorous atom and remaining hydrogen atoms are joint to two oxygen atoms.
