Vedclass · Answer

(C) species that acts as both a Bronsted acid and a base is called an amphoteric species. It must be able to donate a proton $(H^+)$ and accept a proton $(H^+)$.$HPO_4^{2-}$ can accept a proton to form $H_2PO_4^-$ (acting as a base) and donate a proton to form $PO_4^{3-}$ (acting as an acid).$HPO_4^{2-} + H_2O \rightleftharpoons H_2PO_4^- + OH^-$$HPO_4^{2-} + H_2O \rightleftharpoons PO_4^{3-} + H_3O^+$$H_2PO_2^-$ is the conjugate base of $H_3PO_2$ (a monobasic acid) and cannot donate any more protons.$HPO_3^{2-}$ is the conjugate base of $H_2PO_3^-$ (derived from the dibasic acid $H_3PO_3$) and cannot donate any more protons.
