With the help of following equations answer the given question. (i) HCl aq + NaOH aq → NaCl aq + H 2 O l (ii) H 2 SO 4 aq + 2 NaOH aq → Na 2 SO 4 aq + 2 H 2 O l (iii) H 3 PO 4 aq + 3 NaOH aq → Na 3 PO 4 aq + 3 H 2 O l (a) Which acid is diprotic acid and which one is triprotic?

An acid which gives out only three hydrogen ions on ionization in a solution is called triprotic acid and an acid which gives two hydrogen ions on ionization in a solution is known as diprotic acid. From the given equations we can see that sulphuric acid gives two hydrogen ions and phosphoric acid gives three hydrogen ions. So, sulphuric acid is diprotic and phosphoric acid is triprotic acid.
