Answer:
a₀ - 3
a₁ - 1
a₂- 3
a₃ - 1
Step-by-step explanation:
- The balanced chemical equation for the reaction will be;
3NH₄Cl + Ag₃PO₄ → 3AgCl + (NH4)₃PO₄
- Balancing of chemical equations is a try and error method that involves putting coefficients on reactants and products.
- It ensures that the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of the equation.
- Therefore, a balanced equation will obey the law of conservation of mass in chemical equations, since the mass of the reactants and that of products will be equal.
- The above equation is balanced as the number of atoms of each element are equal on both sides of the equation.
- That is, 3 nitrogen atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, 3 chlorine atoms, 3 silver atoms, 1 phosphorus atom and 4 oxygen atoms on both side of the equation.
