Which type of reaction is:4 (NH4)3PO4 + 3 Pb(NO3)4

A	Synthesis
B	Decomposition
C	Single Displacement
D	Double Displacement

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Ammonium phosphate is the ammonium salt of orthophosphoric acid and its chemical formula is (NH₄)₃PO₄. This implies ammonium phosphate contains, 3 nitrogen (N) atoms, 12 hydrogen (H) atoms, 1 phosphorus (P) atom, and 4 oxygen atoms making a total of 20 atoms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ammonium phosphate reacts with lead nitrate forming lead phosphate and ammonium nitrate.

Detailed explanation-3: -This powder is soluble in water and if the water is boiled, then the solution loses the ammonia in the form of gas. This then results in the formation of acid phosphate (NH4)(H2PO4).

Detailed explanation-4: -Ammonium phosphate is the salt of ammonia and phosphoric acid. It has the formula (NH4)3PO4 and consists of ammonium cations and phosphate anion.
