The correct answers are tails of comets, the ionosphere, and a neon sign.

Plasma refers to an ionized gas, and is generally regarded as a discrete phase of matter. In this case ionized signifies that at least one electron has been dissociated from a substantial ratio of the molecules. The tails of comets are primarily formed of plasma. Ice cubes are an example of solid component. A gas fire is an example of gas. The ionosphere is primarily formed of plasma. A neon sign utilizes plasma in order to function, while a flashlight utilizes a light bulb, which is not an example of plasma.

Answer:

The ionization equation is

$H_{2}PO_{4}^{-} +H_{2}O$ ⇄ $HPO_{4}^{-2} +H_{3}O^{+}$ (1)

Explanation:

The ionization equation is

$H_{2}PO_{4}^{-} +H_{2}O$ ⇄ $HPO_{4}^{-2} +H_{3}O^{+}$ (1)

As the Bronsted definition sais, an acid is a substance with the ability to give protons thus, H2PO4 is the acid and HPO42- is the conjugate base.

The Ka expression is the ratio between the concentration of products and reactants of the equilibrium reaction so,

$Ka = \frac{[HPO_{4}^{-2}] [H_{3}O^{+}]}{[H_{2}PO_{4}^{-}] [H_{2}O]} = 6.2x10^{-8}$

The pKa is

$-Log (Ka) = -Log (6.2x10^{-8}) = 7.2$

The pKa of H2CO3 is 6,35, thus this a stronger acid than H2PO4. The higher the pKa of an acid greater the capacity to donate protons.

In the body H2CO3 is a more optimal buffer for regulating pH due to the combination of the two acid-base equilibriums and the two pKa.

If the urine is acidified, according to Le Chatlier's Principle the equilibrium (1) moves to the left neutralizing the excess proton concentration.
