As mentioned above, phosphoric acid has 3 pKa values, and after 3 ionization it gives 3 types of ions at different pKa values:
H₃PO₄(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + H₂PO₄⁻ (aq) pKₐ₁
<span>
</span>H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + HPO₄²⁻ (aq) pKₐ₂
HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ H₃O⁺(aq) + PO₄³⁻ (aq) pKₐ₃
At the highest pKa value (12.4) of phosphoric acid, the last OH group will lose its hydrogen. On the picture I attached, it is shown required protonated form of phosphoric acid before reaction whose pKa value is 12.4.

Answer:
0.21 M. (2 sig. fig.)
Explanation:
The molarity of a solution is the number of moles of the solute in each liter of the solution. The unit for molarity is M. One M equals to one mole per liter.
How many moles of NaOH in the original solution?
,
where
is the number of moles of the solute in the solution.
is the concentration of the solution.
for the initial solution.
is the volume of the solution. For the initial solution,
for the initial solution.
.
What's the concentration of the diluted solution?
.
for the diluted solution.
- Volume of the diluted solution:
.
Concentration of the diluted solution:
.
The least significant number in the question comes with 2 sig. fig. Keep more sig. fig. than that in calculations but round the final result to 2 sig. fig. Hence the result: 0.021 M.
