`I. H_(3)PO_(4)+H_(2)OrarrH_(3)O^(+)+H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)`
`II. H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)+H_(2)OrarrHPO_(4)^(2-)+H_(3)O^(+)`
`III. H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)+OH^(-)rarrH_(3)PO_(4)+O^(2+)`
In which of the above does `H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)` act as an acid?

A

(i) only

B

(ii) only

C

(i) and (ii)

D

(iii) only

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)` acts as an acid and donates a `H^(+)` ion to `H_(2)O`.
