H3PO4(aq) → H+(aq) + H2PO4-(aq)
H2PO4-(aq) → H+(aq) + HPO42-(aq)
HPO42-(aq) → H+(aq) + PO43-(aq)
H2PO4-(aq) → H+(aq) + HPO42-(aq)
HPO42-(aq) → H+(aq) + PO43-(aq)

Apologies for the incorrect response.
The correct expressions for the ionizations of phosphoric acid in aqueous solution are as follows:
H3PO4(aq) → H+(aq) + H2PO4-(aq)
H2PO4-(aq) → H+(aq) + HPO42-(aq)
HPO42-(aq) → H+(aq) + PO43-(aq)
The correct expressions for the ionizations of phosphoric acid in aqueous solution are as follows:
H3PO4(aq) → H+(aq) + H2PO4-(aq)
H2PO4-(aq) → H+(aq) + HPO42-(aq)
HPO42-(aq) → H+(aq) + PO43-(aq)
