Phosphoric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide to produce magnesium phosphate and water via the following reaction: ?H3PO4 + ?Mg(OH)2->?Mg3(PO4)2 + ?H2O

Balance the equation, then enter the coefficients, in order, in the answer box.
Enter four integers separated by commas.

Respuesta :

Answer:

2, 3, 1, 6.

Explanation:

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 --> Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

This is a neutralisation reaction because it is the reaction between acid and base to give a salt and water.

The RHS is the first to be balanced, Mg atom is first balanced, followed by the P atom.

This is because the excess O and H atoms can be balanced on the LHS.
