Three reactions involving `H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)` are given below `I. H_(3)PO_(4)+H_(2)OrarrH_(3)O^(+)+H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)` `II. H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)+H_(2)OrarrHPO_(4)^(2-)+H_(3)O^(+)` `III. H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)+OH^(-)rarrH_(3)PO_(4)+O^(2+)` In which of the above does `H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)` act as an acid?A. `II` onlyB. `I` and `II`C. `III` onlyD. `I` only

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Only in reaction (`II`), `H_(2)PO_(4)^(-)`, gives `H^(+)` to `H_(2)O`. Thus, behaves as an acid.
