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:

$1 H_3PO_4 + 3 RbOH \longrightarrow 3 H_2O +Rb_3PO_4$
