Answer: The chemical formula for phosphorous acid is $H_3PO_3$

Explanation:

An acid is defined as the substance which releases hydrogen ions on dissolving in water.

Phosphorous acid is an acid which is formed by the combination of hydrogen ions $(H^+)$ and phosphite ion having formula $PO_3^{3-}$

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

Hence, the chemical formula for phosphorous acid is $H_3PO_3$

A compound with the formula C6H12 may or may not be a saturated hydrocarbon.

astraxan [27]

A compound with the formula C6H12 is not considered a Saturated hydrocarbon.

Why is C6H12 isn't considered a Saturated hydrocarbon?

The ring's presence demonstrates that it is unsaturated. Keep in mind that the general formula for aliphatic hydrocarbons, CnH2n+2, serves as the foundation for its saturation. A chemical is unsaturated if it does not meet this requirement.

Example:

Hexane (C6H14)

C = 6; H = 14 = 2(6) + 2

resulting in hexane becoming saturated.

Cyclohexane(C6H12)

C = 6 and H = 12 do not equal 14 (x)!

cyclohexane is an unsaturated molecule as a result.

Cycloalkanes have the general formula C2H2n as well.

Hence, the given statement is false.
