    To neutralize completely 20 mL of 0.1M aqueous solution of phosphorous acid \[({{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}),\]the volume of 0.1M aqueous KOH solution required is

    A) 10 mL

    B)                        20 mL   

    C)        40 mL   

    D)        60 mL

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\]is a dibasic acid (containing two ionisable protons attached to O directly). \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}2{{H}^{+}}+HPO_{4}^{2-}\] \[\therefore \] \[0.1M\,{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}=0.2\,N\,{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\] and        \[0.1M\,KOH=0.1\,N\,KOH\]                       \[{{N}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}={{N}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}\] \[(KOH)=({{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}})\] \[0.1{{V}_{1}}=0.2\times 20\]       \[{{V}_{1}}=40\,mL\]
