Balance the equation NH4OH + H3PO4

What Are the products of NH4OH + H3PO4

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
