Given that for the triprotic acid H3PO
4
, the following equilibria exist: 
 
H3PO
4
 + H20  ==  H2PO
4
-
 + H3O
+ 
 
H2PO
4
-
  + H20  ==  HPO
4
2-
 + H3O
+ 
 
HPO
4
2-
 + H20 == PO
4
3-
 + H3O
+ 
 
calculate the numerical value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction 
 
H3PO
4
 + 3H20  ==  PO
