The chemical equation is written out as:

3KOH + H3PO4 -> 3H2O + K3PO4.

So, if you do your mole bridge, you take your moles of Phosphoric acid (1.56) and do some quick stoichiometry.

1.56 mole H3PO4 x (3 mole KOH)/(1 mol H3PO4). This comes out to.... 4.68 moles of KOH is required to neutralize 1.56 moles of H3PO4.

firstly write out the BALANCED equation, or you're getting nowhere! :

3Mg(OH)2 + 2 H3PO4 ® Mg3(PO4)2 + 6 H2O

Mol ratio :321 6

phosphoric acid: N = 2

according to the mol ratio 3 mols of the Magnesium Hydroxide will completely neutralise the Phosphoric Acid.

Calc... We have 2mols of P.A and it mol ratio is two, divide it by 2 to give 1.

as the mol ratio is 3 for magnesium hydroxide just multiply your base ratio (in this case it is 1) by 3, and you get 3.

3 mols will netralise the acid.

What is the compound that reacts with potassium to form potassium hydroxide?

Potassium Hydroxide(KOH) is a base (it is "basic"). An acid will neutralize a base. Acetic acid can be used to neutralize KOH. Baking soda is a base, so it will not work to neutralize KOH.

Are potassium and sodium hydroxide the same thing?

No. Potassium is K and Sodium is Na. Potassium is K; Sodium hydroxide is NaOH (aq) Perhaps you meant Potassium hydroxide? KOH (aq) both are very strong bases, meaning that both will disassociate completely in water, but they are not the same thing.
