Hydrogen phosphate or Monohydrogen phosphate (systematic name) is the inorganic ion with the formula [HPO4]2-. Its formula can also be written as [PO3(OH)]2-. Together with dihydrogen phosphate, hydrogenphosphate occurs widely in natural systems. Their salts are used in fertilizers and in cooking.[1] Most hydrogenphosphate salts are colorless, water soluble, and nontoxic.

It is a conjugate base of phosphate [PO4]3- and a conjugate acid of dihydrogen phosphate [H2PO4]-.

It is formed when a pyrophosphate anion [P2O7]4− reacts with water H2O by hydrolysis, which can give hydrogenphosphate:

[P2O7]4− + H2O ⇌ 2 [HPO4]2−

Acid-base equilibria

Hydrogenphosphate is an intermediate in the multistep conversion of phosphoric acid to phosphate:

Equilibrium Disassociation constant, pKa[2]
H3PO4H2PO4 + H+ pKa1 = 2.14[lower-alpha 1]
H2PO4HPO2−4 + H+ pKa2 = 7.20
HPO2−4PO3−4 + H+ pKa3 = 12.37
