4(NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₄ → Pb₃(PO₄)₄ + 12NH₄NO₃
Explanation:
(NH₄)₃PO₄ + Pb(NO₃)₄ → Pb₃(PO₄)₄ + NH₄NO₃
Balancing this equation;
We simply use a mathematical approach by solving simple algebraic equations.
a(NH₄)₃PO₄ + bPb(NO₃)₄ → cPb₃(PO₄)₄ + dNH₄NO₃
a,b,c and d are the coefficients that will balance the equation;
Conserving N: 3a + 4b = 2d equation 1
H: 12a = 4d
P; a = 4c
O; 4a + 12b = 16c + 3d
Let us make a = 1;
c =
d = 3
solving for b;
from (i); 4b = 2d -3a = 2(3) - 3(1) = 3
b = \frac{3}{4}
Now multiply a, b, c and d by 4;
a = 4 , b = 3 , c= 1 and d = 12
4(NH₄)₃PO₄ + 3Pb(NO₃)₄ → Pb₃(PO₄)₄ + 12NH₄NO₃
