The correct Answer is:
To determine the number of dibasic oxyacids from the given list, we need to analyze each compound based on the number of hydroxyl (–OH) groups it contains. A dibasic acid is defined as an acid that can donate two protons (H⁺ ions), which typically corresponds to having two hydroxyl groups. Let's analyze each compound step by step: ### Step 1: Analyze H₂CO₃ (Carbonic Acid) - **Structure**: H₂CO₃ has the following structure: - C(=O) - OH - OH - **Hydroxyl Groups**: There are 2 hydroxyl groups (–OH). - **Basicity**: Therefore, H₂CO₃ is dibasic. ### Step 2: Analyze H₂SO₃ (Sulfurous Acid) - **Structure**: H₂SO₃ has the following structure: - S(=O) - OH - OH - **Hydroxyl Groups**: There are 2 hydroxyl groups (–OH). - **Basicity**: Therefore, H₂SO₃ is dibasic. ### Step 3: Analyze H₃PO₂ (Phosphorous Acid) - **Structure**: H₃PO₂ has the following structure: - P(=O) - OH - H - **Hydroxyl Groups**: There is only 1 hydroxyl group (–OH). - **Basicity**: Therefore, H₃PO₂ is monobasic. ### Step 4: Analyze H₃PO₃ (Phosphoric Acid) - **Structure**: H₃PO₃ has the following structure: - P(=O) - OH - OH - H - **Hydroxyl Groups**: There are 2 hydroxyl groups (–OH). - **Basicity**: Therefore, H₃PO₃ is dibasic. ### Step 5: Analyze H₃BO₃ (Boric Acid) - **Structure**: H₃BO₃ has the following structure: - B(=O) - OH - OH - OH - **Hydroxyl Groups**: There are 3 hydroxyl groups (–OH). - **Basicity**: Therefore, H₃BO₃ is tribasic. ### Conclusion From the analysis: - Dibasic oxyacids identified: H₂CO₃, H₂SO₃, and H₃PO₃. - Total number of dibasic oxyacids = 3. ### Final Answer The number of dibasic oxyacids in the given list is **3**. ---
