Question

Balance this equation:-


Na3PO4 + KOH --------> NaOH +K3PO4

Solve thos equation step by step using 1)trial and error method
2)Algebraic method

Answer 1

We recall the concept of balancing an equation.

Balancing a Chemical equation is based on the Principle of Atom Conservation (POAC) which states that the total number of atoms in reactants must equal the number of atoms of that element in products.

Given:

Na3PO4 + KOH --------> NaOH +K3PO4We balance this equation as,

We balance the equation as,

$Na_{3}PO_{4}+3KOH.................3NaOH+K_{3}PO_{4}$

Answer 2

Balancing a Chemical equation is based on the Principle of Atom Conservation (POAC) which states that the total number of atoms in reactants must equal the number of atoms of that element in products.

The given equation is :

$Na_{3}PO_{4} + KOH --- > NaOH + K_{3}PO_{4}$

now, the balanced equation is:

$Na_{3}PO_{4} + 3KOH --- > 3NaOH + K_{3}PO_{4}$
