3Ca(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O
This reaction produces calcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂) and water (H₂O).
Let me break down the reaction:
* Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) is a base.
* Hydrogen phosphate (H₃PO₄) is an acid.
* Calcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂) is an ionic compound.
* Water (H₂O) is a neutral molecule.
This is a neutralization reaction where the base and acid react to form a salt (calcium phosphate) and water.
