When acid (x) reacts with base (y) to produce mg3(po4)2- what are x and y

Mg3(PO4)2 - Mg²⁺ forms base

PO4³⁻ forms acid

Ma(OH)2 is a base(Y).

H3PO4 is an acid(X).

3Mg(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 ---> Mg3(PO4)2 + 3H2O

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
