M Tech: Env Engg: ECB: Assignment#2

For the phosphoric acid system, calculate and prepare the graph showing the fraction of each species (H3PO4, H2PO4-, HPO4 2- and PO4 3-), given the values of equilibrium constants as:

Ka1 = 7.5 x 10^(-3)
Ka2 = 6.2 x 10^(-8)
Ka3 =  4.8 x 10^(-13)

The relevant reactions are:

H3PO4 -> H+  +  H2PO4-
H2PO4-  -> H+  +  HPO4 2-
HPO4 2-  -> H+  +  PO4 3-

The deadline for the submission is Sep 8, 2017.
