Could you be more specific?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

wel u knw equilant weight??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you mean equivalent weight?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

ya

OpenStudy (aravindg):

u knw??

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Post a problem.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

its not prob i have a doubt

OpenStudy (mertsj):

A doubt about what?

OpenStudy (aravindg):

wel why is basicity of H3PO3 2????

OpenStudy (aravindg):

helooo????

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Because of the way it dissociates

OpenStudy (aravindg):

xplain

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Think about electron pair availability. The more available the electrons, the more readily they can to donated to form a new bond to the proton and therefore the stronger base.

OpenStudy (aravindg):

confused!!

aravind in H3PO3 basicity is 2 becoz in this compound only 2 hydrogen can be given only not more than it as there is only 2 hydrogen it only seems there is 3 hydrogen remeber all the H3PO4 or H3PO2 H3PO3 they are xception the way to solve these compound is u have to just subtract the oxygen molecule by 1 coming to ur ques in H3PO3 here oxygen have 3 molecules by subtracting it by 1 u get 2 NOTE: this trick is applicable on these xcption only ok rest of the compound u have to just see the number of hydrogen molecules it will be its basicity..
