Trisodium phosphate is produced by neutralization of phosphoric acid using sodium carbonate, which produces disodium hydrogen phosphate. The disodium hydrogen phosphate is reacted with sodium hydroxide to form trisodium phosphate and water. Na 2 CO 3 + H 3 PO 4 → Na 2 HPO 4 + CO 2 + H 2 O Na 2 HPO 4 + NaOH → Na 3 PO 4 + H 2 O
