Detailed Solution

${PO}_{4}^{3 -}$ and $C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -}$ are the two Bronsted bases.

Bronsted bases are proton $(H^{+})$ acceptor

$\begin{aligned} {PO}_{4}^{3 -} + H^{+} \to {HPO}_{4}^{2 -} \\ C_{2} O_{4}^{2 -} + H^{+} \to {HC}_{2} O_{4}^{-} \end{aligned}$

${HPO}_{4}^{2 -}$ and ${HC}_{2} O_{4}^{-}$ are Bronsted acids. They are proton $(H^{+})$ donor.
