Best Answer

Phosphate ions are not flammable or even combustible, because the phosphorus atoms in them already have the highest available formal charge of +5 for phosphorus. An organic phosphate might be flammable if it contains a sufficiently large proportion of carbon and hydrogen in its total mass.
