An acid having basicity one is

A. Sodium dihydrogen phosphate

B. Disodium hydrogen phosphate

C. Sodium phosphate

D. Phosphoric acid

Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions (H+) which can be produced by the ionization of one molecule of the acid in aqueous solution. For example, the basicity of hydrochloric acid is 1 since one molecule of HCl produces one H+ ion in solution. Similarly, the basicity of Disodium phosphate (Na2HPO4) is one since it has one H+ displaceable ion.
