NEET 2025 Chemistry question on Equilibrium

Phosphoric acid ionizes in three steps with their ionization constant values Ka1K_{a1}, Ka2K_{a2} and Ka3K_{a3}, respectively, while KK is the overall ionization constant. Which of the following statements are true?

A. log⁡K=log⁡Ka1+log⁡Ka2+log⁡Ka3\log K = \log K_{a1} + \log K_{a2} + \log K_{a3}

B. H3PO4\text{H}_3\text{PO}_4 is a stronger acid than H2PO4−\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^- and HPO42−\text{HPO}_4^{2-}

C. Ka1>Ka2>Ka3K_{a1} > K_{a2} > K_{a3}

D. Ka1=Ka3+Ka22K_{a1} = \dfrac{K_{a3} + K_{a2}}{2}
