Explanation: The given reaction between is a type of neutralization reaction.

Neutralization reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water as the products.

General equation for Neutralization reaction is:

$HX+BOH\rightarrow BX+H_2O$

For the given reaction.

H_3PO_4 is an acid.

Al(OH)_3 is a base.

Reaction between these two is given by:

$H_3PO_4+Al(OH)_3\rightarrow AlPO_4+3H_2O$

Phosphoric acid and aluminium hydroxide reacts to produce aluminium phosphate salt and water as products.
