Phosphoric acid, H3PO4(aq), is a triprotic acid, meaning that one molecule of the acid has three acidic protons. In solution, the acid dissociates according to the 3 acid equilibria given below. Some of the species are acids or conjugate acids, some are bases or conjugate bases, and some are conjugate bases in one equilibrium equation and then acids in another! These species are called "amphoteric."
Look at each species in the equilibria expressions and see if a species appears in 1) more than one equilibrium and 2) is a base in one and an acid in the other. Recall how water can be both an acid or a base and is thus amphoteric.
H3PO4(aq)β½βββH+(aq)+H2POβ4(aq)
H2POβ4(aq)β½βββHPO2β4(aq)+H+(aq)
HPO2β4(aq)β½βββH+(aq)+PO3β4(aq)

Read these sentences from the text. near the equator, the tropics receive the most rain on a consistent basis. as a result, the fresh water falling into the ocean decrease the salinity of the surface water in that region. [. .] . . as the salt content of sea water increases, so does its density. what can you infer about how rain affects the density of surface water near the equator?
