Draw fully protonated phosphoric acid.
phophoric acid is a polyprotic acid that can release more than
one H+ ions. Phosphoric acid contains three hydroxyl
groups each which can release an H+ ion in aqueuos
solution
protonation is the addition of a proton
(H+) to an atom, molecule, or ion, forming the conjugate
acid.
A phosphate ion can undergo proronarion as follows
PO43- + H+---------------------->HPO42-
HPO42- + H+----------------------->H2PO4-
H2PO4- +
H+----------------------->H3PO4
(phosphoric acid)
