Reaction of anhydrous liquid ammonia with ortho-phosphoric acid produces____________________?

Correct answer: A. Ammonium phosphate

  • A. Ammonium phosphate
  • B. Superphosphate
  • C. Triple superphosphate
  • D. None of these

Explanation

Ammonia neutralises orthophosphoric acid to form ammonium phosphate, chiefly monoammonium or diammonium phosphate depending on the ammonia-to-acid ratio. Superphosphate products also contain calcium compounds, so they are not the direct neutralisation product here.
