The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
Diphosphorus pentoxide reacts with barium oxide to produce barium phosphate. How do you write the balanced equation for this reaction
Answer: The balanced chemical equation is written below.
Explanation:
A balanced chemical equation is defined as the equation in which total number of individual atoms on the reactant side is equal to the total number of individual atoms on product side.
The chemical equation for the reaction of diphosphorus pentoxide with barium oxide follows:
[tex]P_2O_5(s)+3BaO(s)\rightarrow Ba_3(PO_4)_2(s)[/tex]
By Stoichiometry of the reaction:
When 1 mole of solid diphosphorus pentoxide reacts with solid barium oxide, it produces 1 mole of solid barium phosphate.
Hence, the balanced chemical equation is written above.
