Phosphoric acid, H3PO4(aq), is a triprotic acid that undergoes ionization in accordance with the following sequential steps: (1) H3PO4(aq) + H2O(l) ⇔ H2PO4-(aq) + H3O+(aq); Ka1 (2) H2PO4-(aq) + H2O(l) ⇔ HPO42-(aq) + H3O+(aq); Ka2 (3) HPO42-(aq) + H2O(l) ⇔ PO43-(aq) + H3O+(aq); Ka3 Which of the following chemical species represents the strongest base in aqueous solution? PO43-(aq) HPO42-(aq) H2PO4-(aq) H3PO4(aq) None of the chemical species noted above represent the strongest base in aqueous solution.
