State functions include density, internal energy, enthalpy, entropy. Such a relation cannot be written for path functions, especially since these cannot be defined for the limiting states. Path functions depend on the route taken between two states. Two examples of path functions are heat and work.

2h3po4 + 3mg(oh)2 → mg3(po4)2 + 6h2o phosphoric acid, h3po4, is neutralized by magnesium hydroxide, mg(oh)2, according to the eq

Rina8888 [55]

The balanced equation for the neutralisation reaction is as follows
2H₃PO₄ + 3Mg(OH)₂ --> Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O
stoichiometry of H₃PO₄ to H₂O is 2:6
number of H₃PO₄ moles reacted - 0.24 mol
if 2 mol of H₃PO₄ form 6 mol of H₂O
then 0.24 mol of H₃PO₄ forms - 6/2 x 0.24 = 0.72 mol of H₂O
therefore 0.72 mol of H₂O are formed

Answer: The number to the left of AC should be 6.

Explanation: The balanced chemical reaction is one in which the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must be equal to the number of atoms on product side.

The given equation $A_2B + DC_3 \rightarrow AC + D_2B_3$ is unbalanced as the atoms on the reactant side are not same as number of atoms on product side. This equation is called as skeletal equation.
