Hey matt could you please help me with this. I know that first we must balance the equation which would be 2H3PO4 + 3Ca(OH)2 --> 6H2O + Ca3(PO4)2 but then I keep getting stuck. I really want to understand this stuff!! :)

You always start these off with your given which would be 78.5grams of Ca(OH)2 so this is how you would do this kind of problem|dw:1403572252314:dw|
