  • Phosphoric Acid and Ammonium Hydroxide Reaction: Equation & Explanation
    The reaction between phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) and ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) produces ammonium phosphate (NH₄)₃PO₄ and water (H₂O). Here's the balanced chemical equation:

    3NH₄OH + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

    Explanation:

    * Reactants:

    * Phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄) is a weak acid.

    * Ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH) is a weak base.

    * Products:

    * Ammonium phosphate ((NH₄)₃PO₄) is a salt.

    * Water (H₂O) is formed as a byproduct.

    Note: This reaction is a neutralization reaction, where an acid and a base react to form a salt and water.
