Answer :
Answer:
3NH₄OH + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3H₂O
Products are water and ammonium phosphate
Explanation:
This is a neutralization between a weak base and a weak acid where the products are water and the correspondent salt.
Base: NH₄OH → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻
Acid : H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄⁻³
H⁺ bonds to OH⁻ to make H₂O → As we have 3 protons, we can make 3 moles of water, so there are needed 3 OH⁻.
Phosphate has -3 as oxidation state, then it needs 3 ammonium to form the salt.
The balanced equation is:
3NH₄OH + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3H₂O
