    The conjugate base of \[{{H}_{2}}PO_{4}^{-}\] is :

    A)  \[{{H}_{3}}P{{O}_{4}}\]

    B)  \[HP{{O}_{4}}^{2-}\]

    C)  \[P{{O}_{4}}^{3-}\]

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}P{{O}_{3}}^{-}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Conjugate acid base pair differ by \[{{H}^{+}}\] Proton donors are acid                  Acid \[-{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\] Base \[\underset{acid}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}P{{O}_{4}}}}\,-{{H}^{+}}\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{conjugate\text{ }base}{\mathop{HPO_{4}^{2-}}}\,\]
