Answer:
Using the smallest coefficient the chemical equation is written as
3KOH(aq) + H3PO4(aq) → K3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(aq)
Step-by-step explanation:
Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which acid and base reacts quantitatively to form salt and water.
Base = potassium hydroxide
acid = phosphoric acid.
KOH =potassium hydroxide
H3PO4 = Phosphoric acid
KOH(aq) + H3PO4(aq) → K3PO4(aq) + H2O(aq)
The number of atoms on both side (reactant and product) of the equation are not equal so, we need to balance it.
3KOH(aq) + H3PO4(aq) → K3PO4(aq) + 3H2O(aq)
The product are salt and water.
Salt = K3PO4
water = H2O
The equation is balanced on both sides .
The potassium atom is 3 on both sides , oxygen atom is 7 on both sides, hydrogen atom is 6 on both sides and phosphorus atom is 1 on both sides.
