Which is the correct statement for the given acids?

  1. Phosphinic acid is a monoprotic acid while phosphonic acid is a diprotic acid.
  2. Phosphinic acid is a diprotic acid while phosphonic acid is a monoprotic acid.
  3. Both are diprotic acids.
  4. Both are triprotic acids.

Answer

(1) Phosphinic acid is a monoprotic acid while phosphonic acid is a diprotic acid.

Solution

As per NCERT, P–OH bonds are ionisable (give H+); P–H bonds are not.

Phosphinic (hypophosphorous) acid, H3PO2: one P–OH, two P–H ⇒ monoprotic (monobasic).

Phosphonic (phosphorous) acid, H3PO3: two P–OH, one P–H ⇒ diprotic (dibasic).

The variation of the boiling points of the hydrogen halides is in the order HF > HI > HBr > HCl. What explains the higher boiling point of hydrogen fluoride?

  1. There is strong hydrogen bonding between HF molecules.
  2. The bond energy of HF molecules is greater than in other hydrogen halides.
  3. The effect of nuclear shielding is much reduced in fluorine which polarises the HF molecule.
  4. The electronegativity of fluorine is much higher than for other elements in the group.
