Hey there!
Ca + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂
Balance PO₄.
1 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 2 in front of H₃PO₄.
Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂
Balance H.
6 on the left, 2 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of H₂.
Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Balance Ca.
1 on the right, 3 on the right. Add a coefficient of 3 in front of Ca.
3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Our final balanced equation:
3Ca + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂
Hope this helps!
Chemical weathering is the weakening and subsequent disintegration of rock by chemical reactions.
Answer:
A neutral Beryllium atom has two (2) valence electrons
Explanation:
<em>Beryllium, Be,</em> is a group 2 element on the periodic table. Its atomic number is 4.
Generally, atomic number equals number of electrons, which means a neutral Beryllium atom contains four (4) electrons: two (2) in the inner shells and 2 in the outer shell (valence electrons), which can take part in a chemical reaction and participate in chemical bonding.
