Answer 1

Explanation:

Neutralization reaction -

The reaction of an acid and base to yield a salt and water , is a type of neutralization reaction .

The reaction of  potassium hydroxide and phosphoric acid  is a type of neutralization reaction ,

Hence , the reaction is as follows -

KOH (aq) + H₃PO₄ (aq) ----> K₃PO₄ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)

The reaction after balancing the atoms on the reactant side and on the product side is -

3 KOH (aq) + H₃PO₄ (aq) ----> K₃PO₄ (aq) + 3H₂O (l)
