H3PO4 + Sr(OH)2 -->
a) no reaction
b) SrH3PO5
c) SrH5PO6
d) Sr3(PO4)2
Please explain how you get it also. I don't understand this one. Thanks!!

d.
It's a double replacement (acid/base) reaction. The Sr and the H are both positive and they switch. Since Sr has a 2+ charge and the PO4 has a 3- charge, you use a common multiple of 6. The other product would be H(OH) or water.

This is an acid-base reaction question.
The answer will be a salt.
H3PO4 is phosphoric acid and Sr(OH)2 is Strontium hydroxide so the products will be Strontium Phosphate, which is Sr3(PO4)2, and H2O.

A think it's b) +water. H3PO4 gives up a proton and forms water with an OH- of Sr(OH)2, living a nucleophile (H2PO4-) to seek for the electrophile (SrOH+).
