Question

learning: molecular compounds - acids (binary & oxyacids) question what is the name for the acid formed from the po₃³⁻ anion? answer phosphoric acid phosphorous acid phosphate acid phosphite acid i dont know yet

Explanation:

The $PO_{3}^{3 - }$ anion is the phosphite anion. When an acid is formed from this anion, the -ite ending of the anion changes to -ous acid. Phosphoric acid is formed from $PO_{4}^{3 - }$, phosphate anion. Phosphorous acid is an incorrect name for this context. There is no "phosphate acid" as a standard - named acid. Phosphite acid is the correct name for the acid formed from the $PO_{3}^{3 - }$ anion.

Answer:

Phosphite acid
