    The tribasic acid is:

    A)  \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\]        

    B)         \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{3}}\]

    C)         \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{2}}\]        

    D)         \[{{H}_{4}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{7}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Orthophosphoric acid \[({{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}})\] is tribasic. Pyrophosphoric acid \[({{H}_{4}}{{P}_{2}}{{O}_{7}})\] is tetrabasic. Basicity of an acid is the number of replaceable H-atom.
