H2PO4- + H2O \leftrightarrows HPO42- + H3O+ Ka2K _ { a _ { 2 } }
HPO42- + H2O \leftrightarrows PO43- + H3O+ Ka1K _ { a _ { 1 } }
What is the Kb expression for the base, sodium phosphate?


A) Ka1K _ { a _ { 1 } }
B) 1Ka3\frac { 1 } { K _ { a _ { 3 } } }
C) KWKa3\frac { K _ { W } } { K _ { a _ { 3 } } }
D) KˉW×Kˉa3\bar { K } _ { \mathrm { W } } \times \bar { K } _ { \mathrm { a } _ { 3 } }
E) KW3Ka1×Ka2×Ka3\frac { K _ { W ^ { 3 } } } { K _ { \mathrm { a } _ { 1 } } \times K _ { \mathrm { a } _ { 2 } } \times K _ { \mathrm { a } _ { 3 } } }
