Explanation:

PO3^3- ==> The Phosphite anion

PO4^3 ==> The phosphate anion

Upon observation of both anions, what seems to be the differences?

A typical example is Nitrate and nitrite;

Nitrate ==> NO3-

Nitrite ==> NO2-

A Bronsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton.

Because water gains a proton to form H3O+ in this particular reaction, it acts as a base
