Step-by-step explanation:


\underline{ \underline{ \large{ \text{Given \: chemical \: equation}}}} :


  • \tt{P \: + O _(2) \: \: \: \: ➞ \: \: P_(2) \: O_(5)}

Here , Multiply P2O5 by 2 and O2 by 5 to equalize oxygen :


\tt{P+ 5O_(2) \: \: ➞\: \: 2P_(2) \:O_(5)}

Now , To equalize P atoms , Multiply P by 4


\boxed{ \large{\tt{ 4P + 5O _(2) \: ➞ \: \: \: \: 2P_(2) \: O_(5)}}}

Here , On the left side we have 4P and On the right side ,we have 4P. Again , On the left side , we have 10 O and On the right side , we have 10 O. And yippie , we got the balanced chemical equation !!!

Hope I helped ! ♡

Have a wonderful day / night ! ツ
