Lars is balancing equations with his study group. he is unsure about one equation because each member of the study group came up with a different answer. which is the proper way to balance the equation ca(oh)2 h3po4 → ca3(po4)2 h2o? ca(oh)2 h3po4 → ca3(po4)2 6h2o 3ca(oh)2 2h3po4 → ca3(po4)2 6h2o 3ca(oh)2 2h3po4 → ca3(po4)2 3h2o ca(oh)2 2h3po4 → ca3(po4)2 6h2o

Respuesta :

The proper way to balancing the given equation is 3Ca(OH)₂+2H₃PO₄→Ca₃(PO₄)₂ +6H₂O

What is balanced equation?

Balanced equations are those reactions in which each atom of reactants and products are present in same quantity on both sides of the equation.

Given chemical reaction is:
Ca(OH)₂ + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + H₂O

Let we discuss each given reaction to get the perfectly balanced equation:

  • Ca(OH)₂ + H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

In the above reaction number of hydrogens, calcium as well as of oxygens are not equal so that it is an unbalanced equation.

  • 3Ca(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

In the above equation all atoms are present in equal amount on both sides of the reaction, so that it is a balanced equation.

  • 3Ca(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 3H₂O

In the above reaction number of oxygen and hydrogen atoms are not equal so that the given equation is an unbalanced one.

  • Ca(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

In the above freaction all atoms are unequal so that given equation is an unbalanced equation.

Hence balanced equation is 3Ca(OH)₂ + 2H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O.
