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

Chemistry

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.

H3PO4 + Ca(OH)2 → Ca(H2PO4)2 + H2O
aniked [119]

Given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Balance the following equation:

H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + H_2O

Answer: The balanced chemical equation is as follows.

2H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + 2H_2O

Explanation:

When a chemical equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side then this equation is known as balanced equation.

For example, H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + H_2O

Number of atoms on reactant side:

H = 5

P = 1

O = 6

Ca = 1

Number of atoms on product side:

H = 6

P = 2

O = 9

Ca = 1

In order to balance this equation, we will multiply H_3PO_4 by 2 on reactant side and we will multiply H_2O by 2 on product side. Hence, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.

2H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + 2H_2O

Which of the following has the smallest atomic radius: Mg2+, Mg, Ca2+, or Ca?
oksano4ka [1.4K]
The appropriate response is Mg2+. It has the smallest radius the would mean the littlest separation from it's the furthest shell to the core 
Since magnesium has one less shell that calcium, Mg would have a little nuclear range. Besides, a particle of a component will have a little nuclear sweep than it's molecule be utilized as a part of its particle frame it has lost a shell
