Hello!
The coefficient for Lithium Acetate in the balanced chemical equation is 6
Why?
This is the reaction:
(CH₃COO)₂Ca(aq) + Li₃PO₄(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + CH₃COOLi(aq)
For balancing the equation, we're going to apply the Law of Conservation of Mass, which states that matter is not created nor destroyed, and the number of atoms of each element should be the same on both sides of the equation, from that, the balanced equation is:
3(CH₃COO)₂Ca(aq) + 2Li₃PO₄(aq) → Ca₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6CH₃COOLi(aq)
Have a nice day!
