When H3PO4 reacts with water , water act as a Bronsted-Lowery base. Write the equation for this reaction?(state symbol as well)
H3PO4 + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + H2PO4- (aq)
The equation for the reaction between H3PO4 and water, where water acts as a Bronsted-Lowry base, is:
H3PO4 + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + H2PO4-
In this equation, the H3O+ ion is the conjugate acid formed from water (acting as a base), and the H2PO4- ion is the conjugate base formed from H3PO4. The reaction is in equilibrium, indicated by the double arrow (⇌).
