Question

How to Balance H3PO4 +KOH->K3PO4+H2O Chemical equatio

Answer 1

Answer:

H₃PO₄ + 3 KOH ⇒ K₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O

Explanation:

1. Balancing Potassium:

  LHS: 1      RHS: 3

  ∴Multiplying KOH with 3: H₃PO₄ + 3 KOH ⇒ K₃PO₄ + H₂O

2. Balancing Hydrogen:

  LHS: 6      RHS: 2

  ∴Multiplying H₂O with 3: H₃PO₄ + 3 KOH ⇒ K₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O

3. Balancing Oxygen:

  LHS: 4 + 3 = 7     RHS: 4 + 3 = 7

  ∴Already balanced

BALANCED EQUATION: H₃PO₄ + 3 KOH ⇒ K₃PO₄ + 3 H₂O
