Which of the following is the conjugate acid of HPO₄²⁻? A) H₃PO₄ B) H₂PO₄⁻ C) PO₄³⁻ D) H₃O⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine the conjugate acid of a species, we add a hydrogen ion (H+) to it. In this case, the original species is the polyatomic ion HPO₄²⁻. To find its conjugate acid, we add an H+ to the ion. This gives us: HPO₄²⁻ + H+ → H₂PO₄⁻ Therefore, the correct answer is B.
