3 Ca (OH) 2 (aq) + 2 H3Po4 (aq) = 6 H2O (l) + Ca3 (Po4) 2 (s)

Mylie Farmer · Answer 2

To do a balancing to result to a balanced equation, we do elemental balance from each side of the equation. Hence we do separate balances for H, P, O and Ca. In this case, the final balanced equation after balancing elementally is 3 Ca (OH) 2 (aq) + 2 H3Po4 (aq) = 6 H2O (l) + Ca3 (Po4) 2 (s)
