aoSrCl2 + a1 Li3PO4 → a2Sr3(PO4)2 + a3 LiCl

The coefficients that will balance the equation above are


ao= 3

a1=2

a2=1

a3=6

Step-by-step explanation

  • The balanced equation is therefore as below

3SrCl2 +2Li3PO4→ Sr3(Po4)2 + 6 LiCl

  • 3 moles of SrCL2 react with 2 moles of Li3PO4 to form 1 moles of Sr3(PO4)2 + 6 moles of LiCl

The balanced equation obey law of mass conversion of a chemical reaction since the mass of the product is equal to mass of reactant.

  • for example in reactant side we have 3 Sr which is the same in product side.
