Balance the reaction, do not leave any fractions, don't leave anything blank, then answer the questions about the reaction  _________ Mg(OH)2  +  ________ H3PO4    →    ________ Mg3(PO4)2   +   __________ H2O   This is an  ________ reaction and also a ________ reaction.  Is this a redox reaction?  (yes/no) _________, because neither Mg+2, PO4-3, H+1, nor OH-1 change oxidation state. Will the reaction happen as it is written?  (yes/no)  _______ , because acids and bases are reactive and because H2O is   __________ .  The reverse reaction would not happen.
