Given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.
Balance the following equation:
[tex]H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + H_2O[/tex]
Answer: The balanced chemical equation is as follows.
[tex]2H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + 2H_2O[/tex]
Explanation:
When a chemical equation contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side then this equation is known as balanced equation.
For example, [tex]H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + H_2O[/tex]
Number of atoms on reactant side:
H = 5
P = 1
O = 6
Ca = 1
Number of atoms on product side:
H = 6
P = 2
O = 9
Ca = 1
In order to balance this equation, we will multiply [tex]H_3PO_4[/tex] by 2 on reactant side and we will multiply [tex]H_2O[/tex] by 2 on product side. Hence, the balanced chemical equation is as follows.
[tex]2H_3PO_4 + Ca(OH)_2 \rightarrow Ca(H_2PO_4)_2 + 2H_2O[/tex]
