Detailed Solution

Hydrolysis of PCl5 forms H3PO4 and HCl. Balanced chemical reaction of hydrolysis of PCl5 is written below which shows that four molecules of water are consumed in the reaction.

PCl5  + 4H2O  H3PO4 + 5HCl

Structure of H3PO4 is shown below which shows that it has three ionizable hydrogen ions (hydrogen atoms attach to the oxygen atoms). Therefore, H3PO4 is a tribasic acid.
