Explanation:
The reaction is a neutralization reaction between NaOH and H₃PO₄. The equation of the reaction is given as follows:
3 NaOH + H₃PO₄ ---> Na₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O
The molarity of the NaOH solution is 0.238 mol/L.
Average volume of NaOH used during the titration to arrive to endpoint = (4.6 + 3.9 + 4.5) mL / 3 = 4.33 mL
Molarity is defined ratio of the number of moles of solute to the volume of solution. Mathematically, molarity = number of moles/volume in Litres
Number of moles of NaOH reacted = 0.238 mol/L × (4.33mL × 1 L/1000 mL)
Number of moles of NaOH = 0.00103 moles
From the equation of the reaction, 3 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H₃PO₄
0.00103 moles of NaOH will react with 0.00103 x 1/3 moles of H₃PO₄ = 0.000343 moles of H₃PO₄.
Therefore, number of moles of H₃PO₄ that reacted is 0.000343 moles

Explanation:
laws of physics which apply when you are at rest on the earth also apply when you are in any reference frame which is moving at a constant velocity with respect to the earth. For example, you can toss and catch a ball in a moving bus if the motion is in a straight line at constant speed.
