Water is an amphoteric substance. What does this mean? Water can behave as a solid, liquid, and gas Water has unique and unpredictable properties Water can behave as an acid or a base Water is the universal solvent The hydrogen phosphate ion, \( \mathrm{HPO}^{\wedge} 2 \)-(aq), has a Ka of \( 4.2 \times 10^{\wedge}-13 \). What is the base ionization constant, \( \mathrm{Kb} \), for the phosphate ion, \( \mathrm{PO}^{\wedge} \ \)-(aq). \( 1.0 \times 10^{\wedge}-14 \) \( 2.4 \times 10^{\wedge}-2 \) \( 4.2 \times 10^{\wedge}-13 \) Cannot be determined
