Question: Write the Ka expression for each of the following in water: (a) H2PO4-, (b) H3PO2, (c) HSO4-
My Approach:
(a) H2PO4 - + OH- <----> H2O + HPO4 2- >>> ka = [HPO4]/[OH-][H2PO4]
(b) H3PO2 + OH- <---> H2O + H2PO2 - >>> ka = [H2PO2]/ [OH][H3PO2]
(c) HSO4 - + H2O <----> H3O+ + SO4 2- >>> ka = [H3O][SO4]/ [HSO4]
I know I'm probably not right, but I cannot see it any other way. Can someone help me correct my problems either by explaining or showing me the right answers? Thanks!
