    An acid having basicity one is

    A)  Sodium dihydrogen phosphate

    B)  Disodium hydrogen phosphate

    C)  Sodium phosphate

    D)  Phosphoric acid

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions \[(H+)\] which can be produced by the ionization of one molecule of the acid in aqueous solution. For example, the basicity of hydrochloric acid is 1 since one molecule of \[HCl\]produces one \[H+\] ion in solution. Similarly, the basicity of Disodium phosphate \[(N{{a}_{2}}HP{{O}_{4}})\] is one since it has one \[H+\] displaceable ion.
