The correct Answer is:
To determine the total number of diprotic acids from the given list, we need to analyze each acid and identify how many ionizable hydrogen atoms (H⁺) each one has. A diprotic acid is defined as an acid that can donate two protons (hydrogen ions) in an aqueous solution. Let's go through each acid step by step: 1. **H₃PO₄ (Phosphoric Acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₄ has three ionizable hydrogen atoms. - Conclusion: Not a diprotic acid (it is a triprotic acid). 2. **H₂SO₄ (Sulfuric Acid)**: - Structure: H₂SO₄ has two ionizable hydrogen atoms. - Conclusion: This is a diprotic acid. 3. **H₃PO₃ (Phosphorous Acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₃ has two ionizable hydrogen atoms. - Conclusion: This is a diprotic acid. 4. **H₂CO₃ (Carbonic Acid)**: - Structure: H₂CO₃ has two ionizable hydrogen atoms. - Conclusion: This is a diprotic acid. 5. **H₂S₂O₇ (Disulfuric Acid)**: - Structure: H₂S₂O₇ has two ionizable hydrogen atoms. - Conclusion: This is a diprotic acid. 6. **H₃BO₃ (Boric Acid)**: - Structure: H₃BO₃ has only one ionizable hydrogen atom. - Conclusion: Not a diprotic acid (it is a monoprotic acid). 7. **H₃PO₂ (Hypophosphorous Acid)**: - Structure: H₃PO₂ has only one ionizable hydrogen atom. - Conclusion: Not a diprotic acid (it is a monoprotic acid). 8. **H₂CrO₄ (Chromic Acid)**: - Structure: H₂CrO₄ has two ionizable hydrogen atoms. - Conclusion: This is a diprotic acid. 9. **H₂SO₃ (Sulfurous Acid)**: - Structure: H₂SO₃ has two ionizable hydrogen atoms. - Conclusion: This is a diprotic acid. Now, let's summarize the diprotic acids identified: - H₂SO₄ - H₃PO₃ - H₂CO₃ - H₂S₂O₇ - H₂CrO₄ - H₂SO₃ **Total Diprotic Acids**: 6 ### Final Answer: The total number of diprotic acids among the given acids is **6**. ---
