Write all the species that are present in a phosphoric acid solution. in

A phosphoric acid is three protic acid, which means that in water release tree protons. Phosphoric acid ionizes in three steps in water.
First step: H₃PO₄(aq) ⇄ H₂PO₄⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Second step: H₂PO₄⁻(aq)⇄ HPO₄²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Third step: HPO₄²⁻(aq) ⇄ PO₄³⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).
Species that are present: H₃PO₄, H₂PO₄⁻, HPO₄²⁻, PO₄³⁻ and H⁺.

the catch is that the top numbers are atomic masses the bottom numbers are the numbers of protons and electrons in an uncharged atom. they are the number of that atoms as you would find them on the periodic table. further, the numbers on the left are used to determine the missing numbers on the right

so here we go

atomic mass

239 + 1 = y + 134 + 3 combine like terms

240 = y + 137             subtract 137 from both terms

240 - 137 = y

103 = y

atomic number

94 = z +54 + 0

94 = z + 54               subtract 54 from both sides.

40 = z
