A balanced chemical equation is a chemist's shortcut for representing the molecules and atoms involved in a chemical process using chemical symbols. On the left side of the equation are the reactants, and on the right are the products. The number of molecules involved is indicated by the coefficients, and the number of atoms in each molecule is indicated by the subscripts.
Based on the interactions of the constituent chemicals, knowledge of the law of conservation of mass, and practise with a few example equations, chemical equations can be "balanced," much like algebraic equations.

Answer:
0.4 M
Explanation:
The process that takes place in an aqueous K₂HPO₄ solution is:
- K₂HPO₄ → 2K⁺ + HPO₄⁻²
First we <u>calculate how many K₂HPO₄ moles are there in 200 mL of a 0.2 M solution</u>:
- 200 mL * 0.2 M = 40 mmol K₂HPO₄
Then we <u>convert K₂HPO₄ moles into K⁺ moles</u>, using the <em>stoichiometric coefficients</em> of the reaction above:
- 40 mmol K₂HPO₄ *
= 80 mmol K⁺
Finally we <em>divide the number of K⁺ moles by the volume</em>, to <u>calculate the molarity</u>:
- 80 mmol K⁺ / 200 mL = 0.4 M
