question

how to balance a skeleton equation such as:

 H3PO4 +    Mg(OH)2   →  

                    H2O  +   Mg3(PO4)2

answer
  • Balance the Mg and (PO4) first.
  • Then count all the “H’s” on the left side of the arrow, then fix the “H’s” on the right side of the arrow.
  • Check to see if the “O’s” worked out on their own.

          2H3PO4 +    3Mg(OH)2   →  

                                       6H2O  +   1Mg3(PO4)2
