Suppose potassium phosphate, dibasic, is dissolved in water. Many,many proton transfer reactions begin to happen and come toequilibrium. Write at least 12 balanced equationshappening in this solution that:
- Involve a single protontransfer event in each case.
- Have different numericalvalues for their equilibrium constants.
- Identify each numerical value for each such equilibriumconstant.
Hint: Phosphoric acid hasthree pKa values: 2.3, 6.8, and 12.35.
Hint: There will be phosphoric acid molecules in thesolution
Hint: There will be monobasic phosphate molecular species in thissolution
Hint: There will be tribasic phosphate molecular species in thissolution
How are all these species formed from dibasicphosphate?
