Phosphoric acid is a polyprotic acid (more than one proton that gets ionized) with 3 pK values: pK1=2.15, pK2=6.82 and pK3=12.38. Which molecular species are present at pH 6.82?

mostly H3PO4

[H3PO4]=[H2PO4-]

mostly [H2PO4-]

[H2PO4-]=[HPO42-]

mostly [HPO42-]

[HPO42-]=[PO43-]

mostly [PO43-]

There is are no concentrations provided for the question so it is a question on what stage of deprotonation the phosphoric acid is at
