Write out the balanced equation for the reaction that occurs when Ca(OH)2 and H3PO4 react together. You do not need to make your subscripts smaller; just write them out at regular numbers. For example: Ca(OH)2.

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

i am just wondering would this be a correct answer for this question? 3 Ca(OH)2 & 2 H3PO4 yields Ca3(PO4)2 & 6 H2O

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@Abmon98

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@Jesstho.-. can u please help?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

@Abhisar please help me

OpenStudy (abhisar):

what's giving u trouble ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

i just wanted to make sure that this is a correct equation: 3 Ca(OH)2 & 2 H3PO4 yields Ca3(PO4)2 & 6 H2O for the question

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Unbalanced equation will be Ca(OH)\(_2\) + H\(_3\)PO\(_4\) ---> Ca\(_3\)(PO4)\(_2\) & H\(_2\)O

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Now it looks like u tried to balance it

OpenStudy (abhisar):

In ur balanced equation LHS RHS Ca 3 3 O 6+8 6+8 H 6+6 6\(\times\)2 P 2 2

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Is LHS(Left hand side) and RHS((Right hand side) equal for each element ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

huh?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

oh nvm for O and P right?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

and Ca

OpenStudy (abhisar):

and H

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

oh yep

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Balancing means each element should be equal on both sides.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

U balanced the equation as 3 Ca(OH)2 & 2 H3PO4 yields Ca3(PO4)2 & 6 H2O ryt ?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

To check if it is correctly balanced or not we will have to see if each element is equal on both sides or not.

OpenStudy (abhisar):

On analyzing we get \(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Abhisar In ur balanced equation LHS RHS Ca 3 3 O 6+8 6+8 H 6+6 6\(\times\)2 P 2 2 \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

So every element (C, O, P & H) are equal on both sides.

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

ok

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Therefore, ur answer is correct !

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

oh. cool. Merci :3

OpenStudy (abhisar):

What's merci ?

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

Merci means thank you in french and farsi and possibly in some other languages too!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

O_o

OpenStudy (superhelp101):

haha
