i think its theory but im not to sure
Answer: Colligative properties are those properties of solutions that are dependent on the concentration of the solutes in the solution.
Colligative properties has to do with solutions, that is, solutes that are dissolved in solvents. Examples of colligative properties are: freezing point depression, vapour pressure lowering, boiling point elevation and osmotic pressure. Colligative properties do not depend on the identity of the solutes, this implies that the effect of colligative properties are uniform across all solutions. For example, the freezing point depression of any solution will depend on the concentration of solutes that are dissolve in solution.
Answer:
H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.
Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.
Explanation:
Bronsted theory mentioned that acid is the one that donates a proton to another compound and base is the one that receives it.
H₃PO₄ + C₆H₅O⁻ ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻ + C₆H₅OH
acid base conj. base conj. acid
H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.
Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.
If we follow the dissociation, the diacid phosphate can donate two more protons, it is still a Bronsted acid, but it can act as an acid or a base. This is called amphoteric.
I believe the answer is A. However, I would double check the formula.
