Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why \( H_3PO_3 \) is diprotic (or dibasic), we need to analyze its structure and the number of hydrogen ions (\( H^+ \)) it can donate. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Structure of \( H_3PO_3 \)**: - \( H_3PO_3 \) is known as phosphorous acid. Its structure can be represented as: \[ \text{H}_3\text{PO}_3: \text{O}=\text{P}(\text{OH})_2\text{H} ...
