Question

balance the equation P4O+H2O---H3PO4​

Answer 1

Required Answer :-

$\large \sf{P_4O \: \: + \: \: H_2O \: \: \longmapsto \: H_3PO_4}$

$\pmb{ \frak{ \underline{Balanced \: chemical \: equation : }}}$

$\large \pmb{ \rm {\red{P_4O + 6H_2O \mapsto 4H_3PO_4}}}$

More to know!

• Chemical equation is the representation of chemical reaction using symbols and formulae of the substances elaborated in the reaction.

• Here, the above equation is a "Combination Reaction", because two substances are combined to form a new substance.

Some More Examples of Combination Reaction :-

$\sf{2H_2 (g) + O_2 (g) \: ➝ \: 2H_2O (g)}$

• Here, Hydrogen gas and oxygen gas are combined to form water (new substance). Hence, it's a combination reaction.

• The new substances formed after a chemical reaction is called the Product, it is present in the right side of the arrow sign.

• Substances which undergo a chemical change in a reaction is called the reactants, it is present in the left side of the arrow sign.
