Answer : The salt produced in this reaction is potassium phosphate.

Explanation :

Neutralization reaction : It is a type of reaction in which an acid react with a base to give a salt and water as a product.

As per question, when phosphoric acid react with potassium hydroxide base then it gives potassium phosphate and water as a product.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,


H_3PO_4+3KOH\rightarrow K_3PO_4+3H_2O

From this we conclude that, the salt produced in this reaction is potassium phosphate.
