Detailed Solution

Ortho phosphorous acid is a polyprotic solvent. Higher order ionization constants (Ka2Ka3) are smaller than the lower order ionization constant (Ka1) of a polyprotic acid.

The dissociation constant or acid strength of polyprotic acid decreases as protons are lost.

For H3PO3, the Ka1>Ka2>Ka3

Hence, the correct option is option 2) 1.6×10-27×10-7, 0.
