We have 15xx0.2=3.0mmol15×0.2=3.0mmol reacting with 10xx0.15=1.5mmol10×0.15=1.5mmol

Explanation:

So the mol ratio is 3.0div1.5=23.0÷1.5=2

Since phosphoric acid does not easily give off its third proton, and if the hydroxide were sodium hydroxide, the most likely equation would be:

2NaOH+H_3PO_4->Na_2HPO_4+2H_2O2NaOH+H3PO4Na2HPO4+2H2O

Or: 2OH^(-)(aq) +H_3PO_4(aq)->HPO_4^(2-)(aq) +2H_2O(l)2OH(aq)+H3PO4(aq)HPO24(aq)+2H2O(l)

With (di)sodium (mono)hydrogen phosphate as the resulting salt.
