Balance the equation: Ba(OH)2(aq) + H3PO4(aq)

Chemistry
1 answer:
alexgriva [62]3 years ago
5 0

The products of the unbalanced reaction are as follows:

Ba(OH)₂ (aq) + H₃PO₄(aq) → Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + H₂O(l)

This is an acid base reaction where Ba(OH)₂ is the base and H₃PO₄ is the acid. Acid base reaction is also known as neutralization reaction where the acid and base react with each other to form salt and water. In this reaction Ba₃(PO₄)₂ is the salt. Also barium phosphate (Ba₃(PO₄)₂) is insoluble in water and forms a solid precipitate.

The balanced reaction is as follows:

3Ba(OH)₂ (aq) + 2H₃PO₄(aq) → Ba₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6H₂O(l)

There are three Ba from Ba₃(PO₄)₂ on the product side of the equation, so to balance 3 coefficient was placed before Ba(OH)₂. Similarly, 2 coefficient was placed before H₃PO₄ on the reactant side to balance the two phosphate from Ba₃(PO₄)₂ on the product side. Finally, 6 coefficient was placed before H₂O on the product side, to balance the number of H and O atoms on both side of the equation.

Mercury is a liquid meteal but it is not hard? how can we say it is a metal
NNADVOKAT [17]
What's the problem ? Hardness is not the definition of a metal. You need to expand your thinking. EVERY element is solid, liquid, and gas, over different ranges of temperature ... including all of the metals. There are only TWO elements that are liquid AT ROOM TEMPERATURE, and mercury is one of them. But on a mild day at the south pole, mercury is solid too.

A student sees a change in mass in the lab when mixing two chemicals what is a possible explanation?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

The mixing of two chemicals may result in the production of a gas which is lost to the air. This will reduce the mass of the chemical mixture, because mass is being lost in a gaseous form.
