The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of diprotic acids among the given compounds, we need to analyze each acid based on its chemical structure and the number of ionizable hydrogen ions (H⁺) it can donate. A diprotic acid is defined as an acid that can donate two protons (H⁺ ions). Let's analyze each compound: 1. **H₃PO₄ (Phosphoric acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₄ has three ionizable hydrogen ions. - Classification: Triprotic (not diprotic). 2. **H₂SO₄ (Sulfuric acid)**: - Structure: H₂SO₄ has two ionizable hydrogen ions. - Classification: Diprotic. 3. **H₃PO₃ (Phosphorous acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₃ has two ionizable hydrogen ions. - Classification: Diprotic. 4. **H₂CO₃ (Carbonic acid)**: - Structure: H₂CO₃ has two ionizable hydrogen ions. - Classification: Diprotic. 5. **H₂S₂O₇ (Disulfuric acid or Oleum)**: - Structure: H₂S₂O₇ has two ionizable hydrogen ions. - Classification: Diprotic. 6. **H₃BO₃ (Boric acid)**: - Structure: H₃BO₃ has one ionizable hydrogen ion. - Classification: Monoprotic (not diprotic). 7. **H₃PO₂ (Hypophosphorous acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₂ has one ionizable hydrogen ion. - Classification: Monoprotic (not diprotic). 8. **H₂CrO₄ (Chromic acid)**: - Structure: H₂CrO₄ has two ionizable hydrogen ions. - Classification: Diprotic. 9. **H₂SO₃ (Sulfurous acid)**: - Structure: H₂SO₃ has two ionizable hydrogen ions. - Classification: Diprotic. Now, let's summarize the classification of each acid based on the analysis: - **Diprotic Acids**: H₂SO₄, H₃PO₃, H₂CO₃, H₂S₂O₇, H₂CrO₄, H₂SO₃ - **Not Diprotic**: H₃PO₄ (Triprotic), H₃BO₃ (Monoprotic), H₃PO₂ (Monoprotic) Counting the diprotic acids, we find: - H₂SO₄ - H₃PO₃ - H₂CO₃ - H₂S₂O₇ - H₂CrO₄ - H₂SO₃ Total diprotic acids = 6 **Final Answer**: The total number of diprotic acids is **6**. ---
