An acid (x) reacts with a base (y) to produce mg3(po4)2. what are x and y?

Answer : The X and Y are, and

Explanation :

Acid-base reaction : It is a neutralization reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product.

When phosphoric acid react with the magnesium hydroxide base to give magnesium phosphate and water as a product.

The balanced acid-base reaction will be,

X = = phosphoric acid = Acid

Y = = magnesium hydroxide = Base

Hence, the X and Y are, and
