Question

What is the salt produced when calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, reacts with phosphoric acid, H3PO4, in a neutralization reaction?

Answer 1

`3Ca(OH) _(2) +2H _(3) PO _(4)`⇒
`6H _(2) O+Ca _(3)(PO _(4)) _(2)`
Calcium phosphate. Which is your Ca3(PO4)2.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A neutralization reaction is a reaction in which two different compounds combine together and result in the formation of salt and water.

Foe example,
`Ca(OH)_(2) + H_(3)PO_(4) \rightarrow Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2) + 6H_(2)O`

Therefore, salt of calcium phosphate
`Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)` is formed along with formation of water when compounds
`Ca(OH)_(2)` and
`H_(3)PO_(4)` react together.
