The equation below represents the equilibrium state of aqueous phosphoric acid.

H3PO4(aq) ↔ H+(aq) + H2PO4-(aq)

Which of the following is equal to the ionization constant Ka?
A
[H2PO−4][H+][H3PO4]

B
[H+][H3PO4][H2PO4]

C
[H+][H2PO−4][H3PO4]

D
[H3PO4][H+][H2PO−4]

Respuesta :

Answer:

.

Explanation:

[tex]K_a=\frac{[H_2PO_4^-][H^+]}{[H_3PO_4]}[/tex]

K, the equilibrium constant, is equal to products over reactants raised to their coefficients (excluding solids and liquids and only including aqueous and gasses)

[tex]Ka=\frac{[H_2PO_4^- ][H^+]}{H_3PO_4}[/tex]  is the equilibrium constant and is equal to products over reactants raised to their coefficients (excluding solids and liquids and only including aqueous and gasses). Hence, option A is correct.

What is equilibrium?

A state of balance between opposing forces or actions.

A number that expresses the relationship between the amounts of products and reactants present at equilibrium in a reversible chemical reaction at a given temperature.

[tex]Ka=\frac{[H_2PO_4^- ][H^+]}{H_3PO_4}[/tex]

K, the equilibrium constant, is equal to products over reactants raised to their coefficients (excluding solids and liquids and only including aqueous and gasses)

Hence, option A is correct.
