Answer : The X and Y are, \(H_3PO_4\) and \(Mg(OH)_2\)
Explanation :
Acid-base reaction : It is a neutralization reaction in which an acid react with a base to give salt and water as a product.
When phosphoric acid react with the magnesium hydroxide base to give magnesium phosphate and water as a product.
The balanced acid-base reaction will be,
\(2H_3PO_4+3Mg(OH)_2\rightarrow Mg_3(PO_4)_3+6H_2O\)
X = \(H_3PO_4\) = phosphoric acid = Acid
Y = \(Mg(OH)_2\) = magnesium hydroxide = Base
Hence, the X and Y are, \(H_3PO_4\) and \(Mg(OH)_2\)
