How would you balance the following equation: H3PO4 +Mg(OH)2 --> Mg3(PO4)2 +H20?

Answer 1

#2H_3PO_4 + 3Mg(OH)_2 rarr Mg_3(PO_4)_2 + 3H_2O#

If there are more particles on the left side of the equation than on the right, the equation is unbalanced and does not accurately describe mass balance and reality. How do you know if the equation is balanced?

You handle money every day, so even though this act of balancing seems difficult at first, you can become very skilled at it. Do you know when you've been shortchanged? I believe you do (if not, could you please give me five £5-00 notes for this £20-00 note?).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
