Problem

During the titration of phosphoric acid with hydroxide ion, the end point for the second proton transfer is reached when only HPO42−\mathrm{HPO_4^{2-}} remains in solution. Provide the balanced net ionic equations for each of the two sequential proton-transfer steps that convert H3PO4\mathrm{H_3PO_4} into HPO42−\mathrm{HPO_4^{2-}}, including physical states.
