Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand that hydrophosphoric acid is a binary acid, which means it consists of hydrogen and one other non-metal element, in this case, phosphorus.
Recall that binary acids are named using the prefix 'hydro-' followed by the root of the non-metal element and the suffix '-ic'.
Identify that the chemical formula for hydrophosphoric acid should only include hydrogen and phosphorus, without any oxygen atoms.
Recognize that the chemical formula for hydrophosphoric acid is H₃P, as it consists of three hydrogen atoms and one phosphorus atom.
Eliminate the other options (H₃PO₄, H₃PO₂, H₃PO₃) as they contain oxygen atoms, which are not present in hydrophosphoric acid.
