    Chemical reaction of PO₄³⁻ ion in water:

    PO₄³⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l) → HPO₄²⁻ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq).

    Kb = [HPO₄²⁻] · [OH⁻] / [PO₄³⁻]; base ionization constant.

    Base ionization constant is the equilibrium constant for the ionization of a base.

    According to Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺).

    PO₄³⁻ is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid HPO₄²⁻.
