anyone gud at chemistry?
Could you be more specific?
wel u knw equilant weight??
Do you mean equivalent weight?
ya
u knw??
Post a problem.
its not prob i have a doubt
A doubt about what?
wel why is basicity of H3PO3 2????
helooo????
Because of the way it dissociates
xplain
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.
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..
k thx
