Answer:

The balanced equation is:


H_3PO_4 + 3 RbOH \longrightarrow 3 H_2O +Rb_3PO_4

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, step by step:

1) Balance the Rb:


H_3PO_4 + 3 RbOH \longrightarrow H_2O +Rb_3PO_4

2) Balance the phosphate:


1 H_3PO_4 + 3 RbOH \longrightarrow H_2O +Rb_3PO_4

3) Balance the water:


1 H_3PO_4 + 3 RbOH \longrightarrow 3 H_2O +Rb_3PO_4
