Understanding pH and Species Equilibria in Phosphoric Acid and Titration Problems

This quiz assesses your knowledge of the pH of phosphoric acid solutions and their equilibria. You will determine the principal species present at a specific pH (7.50), analyze the second most abundant species, and explore titration concepts involving weak acids. The problems include calculating volumes needed for titration and understanding pH changes during titration. Engage with the equilibrium reactions of H3PO4 and apply your knowledge of pKa values to find the correct answers.
