The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze both statements regarding the acid \( H_3PO_3 \) (phosphorous acid) and its properties in relation to normality and basicity. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Normality and Molarity**: - Normality (N) is related to molarity (M) by the equation: \[ \text{Normality} = \text{Molarity} \times n \] where \( n \) is the number of equivalents of the acid or base. 2. **Identifying the Molarity**: - The problem states that the molarity of the \( H_3PO_3 \) solution is \( 0.1 \, M \). 3. **Determining the n Factor**: - The n factor for an acid is determined by the number of \( H^+ \) ions it can donate. - For \( H_3PO_3 \), it can donate a maximum of 2 \( H^+ \) ions, which means its n factor is 2. 4. **Calculating Normality**: - Using the values we have: \[ \text{Normality} = 0.1 \, M \times 2 = 0.2 \, N \] - This means that the normality of the \( H_3PO_3 \) solution is \( 0.2 \, N \). 5. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - Statement 1 claims that the normality is \( 0.3 \, N \). Since we calculated it to be \( 0.2 \, N \), this statement is **incorrect**. 6. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - Statement 2 claims that \( H_3PO_3 \) is a dibasic acid. Since it can donate 2 \( H^+ \) ions, this statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: - **Statement 1 is false** and **Statement 2 is true**. ### Final Answer: - The correct option is that Statement 1 is false and Statement 2 is true. ---
