Write an equation in which $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{PO}_{3}^{-}$ acts as an acid and another in which it acts as a base.
Both $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{PO}_{4}^{-}$ are amphoteric. Write an equation to show how each substance can act as an acid and another equation to show how each can act as a base.
