Besides water, what is the product of a Neutalization Reaction between Mg(OH)2 and H3PO4?

a. Mg3(PO4)2
b. Mg-3(PO4)+2
C. (PO4)2Mg3
d. MgPO

The answer to your question is letter A

Explanation:

Data

Reactants   Mg(OH)₂ and H₃PO₄

This is a neutralization reaction because the reactants are a base (Mg(OH)₂) and an acid (H₃PO₄).

The products in a neutralization reaction are always water and a salt.

Balanced chemical reaction

         3Mg(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄  ⇒ Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
