Answer to Question #21144 in Organic Chemistry for Sadaam Ahmed

Question

Write the neutralization reaction for the reaction of phosphoric acid with lithium hydroxide.

Answer 1

Reaction:

3LiOH + H₃PO₄ = Li₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

The stages of it will look so:

LiOH + H₃PO₄ = LiH₂PO₄ + H₂O

Аcid salt reacts with the following mole of lithium hydroxide:

LiH₂PO₄ + LiOH = Li₂HPO₄ + H₂O

In the last stage of the average salt:

Li₂HPO₄ + LiOH = Li₃PO₄ + H₂O
