Phosphoric acid is used widely in fertilizers and is used in certain types of pop to make them more tart. It is a triprotic
acid with a chemical formula H3PO4(aq). Estimate the pH and the concentrations of all species at equilibrium in a
0.520 M solution of phosphoric acid. The three acid dissociation steps are as follows:
H3PO4 (aq) + H2O (1) H2PO4 (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
H2PO4 (aq) + H2O (1) HPO42 (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
HPO4 (aq) + H2O (1) PO4 (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
