Sagot :

Balanced equation

Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 2Al(NO₃)₃ → 3Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2AlPO₄

Further explanation

Given

Reaction

Mg3(PO4)2 + Al(NO3)3 → Mg(NO3)2 + AlPO4

Required

Balanced equation

Solution

Give a coefficient :

Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + aAl(NO₃)₃ → bMg(NO₃)₂ + cAlPO₄

Make an equation :

Mg, left = 3, right=b⇒b=3

P, left=2, right=c⇒c=2

Al, left=a, right=c⇒a=c⇒a=2

The reaction becomes :

Mg₃(PO₄)₂ + 2Al(NO₃)₃ → 3Mg(NO₃)₂ + 2AlPO₄
