Hide the solution

H₃PO₄ is the acid which donates a proton (H⁺) to the OH^-.

The acid base pairs are H₃PO₄/H₂PO₄^-

and OH^-/H₂O

This is not an acid/base reaction. It does not involve the transfer of protons.

Acid - Base Reactions

An acid base reaction involves the transfer of a proton from the acid to the base. The products are also an acid and a base.

H₂SO₄(aq) + OH^-(aq) <=> HSO₄^-(aq) + H₂(l)
