    We can classify the ion molecules as follows:

    PO4^3 - = Bronsted Base

    ClO2 - = Bronsted Base

    NH4 + = Bronsted Acid

    HCO3 - = Both

    H2PO4 - = Both

    For a Bronsted-Lowry acid and bases, an acid is a proton (hydrogen ion) donor. A base is a proton (hydrogen ion) acceptor. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
