Sibce its Kb is larger than its Ka, the monohydrogen phosphate ion, HPO4^2- will behave more as a base than as an acid.
An amphoteric ion is an ion that can act both as an acid or a base.
An example of an amphoteric ion is monohydrogen phosphate ion,
[tex]HPO_4^{2-}[/tex]
The Ka of monohydrogen phosphate ion is 4.8 × 10^-13 while the Kb is 1.6 × 10^-7.
The In is greater than the Ka.
Therefore, the monohydrogen phosphate ion, HPO4^2- will behave more as a base than an acid.
