Question

What is the balanced equation of phosphoric acid and barium hydroxide?

Answer 1

3Ba(OH)2=2H3PO4------>Ba3(PO4)2+6H20

Step-by-step explanation:

i got it correct

Answer 2

`2H_3PO_4 + 3Ba(OH)_2` →
`Ba_3(PO_4)_2+6H_2O`

Step-by-step explanation:

Phosphoric acid is
`H_3PO_4` and barium hydroxide is
`Ba(OH)_2`. Since this is an acid-base reaction, our products should be water and a salt. Put these given compounds together as the reactants:

`H_3PO_4 + Ba(OH)_2` →
`Ba_3(PO_4)_2+H_2O`

We need to balance this by making sure there are the same number of each atom on each side of the equation. Right now, on the left, we have:

- 5 H's

- 1 P

- 6 O's

- 1 Ba

On the right, we have:

- 2 H's

- 2 P's

- 5 O's

- 3 Ba's

To balance this, add a coefficient of 2 to the H3PO4, 3 to Ba(OH)2, and 6 to H2O:

`2H_3PO_4 + 3Ba(OH)_2` →
`Ba_3(PO_4)_2+6H_2O`
