Answer: Phosphate ions
(PO_4^(3-))

Step-by-step explanation: Phosphoric acid is an acid as it donates
H^(+) ions when dissolved in water.

Cations are the ions which bear positive charge and anions are the ions which bear negative charge.

Phosphoric acid is made by the combination of
H^(+) cations and
PO_4{3-} anions.


H_3PO_4\rightarrow 3H^++PO_4^(3-)
