What solid would form when phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is added to milk of magnesia (Mg(OH)2)
1 answer:
Answer:
Mg₃(PO₄)₂
Explanation:
This is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base
The acid here is H₃PO₄
base is Mg(OH)₂
Every chemical reaction is made up of reactants on the left side and products formed on the right hand side of the expression;
3Mg(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄
→ Mg₃(PO₄)₂
+ 6H₂O
The reaction above is a double replacement reaction in which two ionic compounds gives an insoluble precipitate as a product when their ions displace one another in solution.
The solid formed is Mg₃(PO₄)₂

Explanation:
1) Boyle's Law: This law states that pressure is inversely related to the volume occupied by the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.
(At constant temperature and number of moles)
- When the size of the chamber is increased the volume occupied the gas will increase with which pressure exerted by the gas will decrease down.
- When we press the inflated balloon the pressure on the gas is increased with which volume of the occupied by the gas inside the balloon decreased.
2) Charles' Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the temperature of the gas at constant pressure and number of moles.
(At constant pressure and number of moles)
- The size of the balloon deceases because the in winters the temperature decreases with which volume of the gas present in the balloon also decreases.
- When the flexible closed container is heated the temperature of the gas inside the container increases with which the volume occupied by the gas in the container will increase resulting in expanding of container.
3) Avogadro's Law: This law states that volume occupied by the gas is directly related to the number of moles of the gas at constant pressure and temperature.
(At constant temperature and pressure)
When we blow air into the balloon the umber of air particles increases with which the volume of the gas inside the balloon also increases resulting in increase in size of the balloon.
