dihydrogen phosphate, $H_{2} P O_{4}^{2 -}$ $H_2PO_4^(2-)$

To find the conjugate base of any acid, simply remove one $H^{+}$ $H^+$ ion from the formula of the base, and presto!

Conversely, to find the conjugate acid of any base, add $H^{+}$ $H^+$ to the formula of that base.

Which ion is the conjugate base of H3PO4H_3PO_4?
