Answer: The molecular equation is written below.
Explanation:
A molecular equation is defined as the chemical equation in which the ionic compounds are written as molecules rather than component ions.
Neutralization reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water molecule.
The chemical equation for the reaction of phosphoric acid and sodium hydroxide follows:
[tex]H_3PO_4(aq.)+3NaOH(aq.)\rightarrow Na_3PO_4(aq.)+3H_2O(l)[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
1 mole of phosphoric acid reacts with 3 moles of sodium hydroxide to produce 1 mole of sodium phosphate and 3 moles of water.
Hence, the molecular equation is written above.
