Sodium Hydroxide and Phosphoric Acid

3NaOH + H₃PO₄ → Na₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

Tổng quan

Sodium hydroxide reacts with phosphoric acid in a 3:1 ratio to completely neutralize the triprotic acid, forming trisodium phosphate and water. Partial neutralization gives mono- or disodium phosphate depending on the molar ratio. Each salt has different industrial applications.
