So I need to do an equation, can you explain it to me in detail because I’m getting muddled up
You got it right don't worry so when you do this question you write out the equation 🙂 then you work out the number or moles in phosphoric acid and the Mr of calcium hydroxide. The balanced equation should show you the ratio of moles which will help determine the calcium hydroxide moles luckily for you the ratio was 1:1:1:1: so moles didn't change aha so when you worked out mass you got it right 😉 here's my working out sorry if you still don't get it I tried making it as clear as possible

I dont think thats balanced because there's one calcium on the left and 2 on the right??
Hi, The equation above isn't fully balanced yet, When you balance it, it should be 2 H3PO4 + 3 Ca(OH)2 = 6H2O + Ca3(PO4)2 Then when you have the moles of phosphoric acid, you divide by 2 and times by 3 to get moles of Ca(OH)2. Hope this helps!
