    3NH₄OH + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄) ₃PO₄ + 3H₂O

    Products are water and ammonium phosphate

    Explanation:

    This is a neutralization between a weak base and a weak acid where the products are water and the correspondent salt.

    Base: NH₄OH → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

    Acid : H₃PO₄ → 3H⁺ + PO₄⁻³

    H⁺ bonds to OH⁻ to make H₂O → As we have 3 protons, we can make 3 moles of water, so there are needed 3 OH⁻.

    Phosphate has - 3 as oxidation state, then it needs 3 ammonium to form the salt.

    The balanced equation is:

    3NH₄OH + H₃PO₄ → (NH₄) ₃PO₄ + 3H₂O
