        To neutralise 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). \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}2{{H}^{+}}+HPO_{4}^{2-}\] \[\therefore \]\[0.1\,M\,{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}=0.2\,N\,{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\] and  \[0.1\text{ }M\text{ }KOH=0.1\text{ }N\text{ }KOH\] \[\underset{(KOH)}{\mathop{{{N}_{1}}{{V}_{1}}}}\,=\underset{({{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}})}{\mathop{{{N}_{2}}{{V}_{2}}}}\,\]                 \[0.1{{V}_{1}}=0.2\times 20\]                 \[{{V}_{1}}=40\,mL\]
